Cleoni Crawford - a woman on a  mission. Conqueror of challenges. Mental health advocate. A leader in  her own right. Cleoni is a U of T graduate who has become a young,  passionate and resilient entrepreneur on a mission to raise awareness  about mental health by courageously telling her story in a new book  entitled “The Music of My life.” Due to unfortunate circumstances that  would take the lives of her sister and sister’s best friend, Cleoni’s  struggle with bipolar disorder inspired her to take a leap of faith and  devote her life to mental health awareness. Her journey to recovery has  propelled her to further her studies at Centennial College in the  Addictions and Mental Health program.

Since being diagnosed with  bipolar disorder in 2006, she has been hospitalized 26 times, homeless,  incarcerated, and suicidal. Despite this, she has taken her story to  fuel her passion to give back as a mental health advocate and speaker.
