ADHD Gathering
by Ying Deng
ADHD Gathering is hosted by Ying Deng, award-winning ADHD coach, certified meditation teacher, and featured expert in SELF Magazine. Your ADHD brain is not a problem to fix; it’s an ecosystem to understand. What began as a spotlight on BIPOC voices in the ADHD community has grown into a broader exploration of the art of navigating life as a neurodivergent person, through mindfulness, radical acceptance, and a deeper understanding of yourself and the systems you live within, while still highlighting diverse narratives. Tune in if you’re a late-diagnosed ADHD adult ready to stop forcing and start living in a way that actually flows with your brain.
