I believe that change begins in the smallest moments: one conversation, one habit, one person at a time.

During the talk, Rimsha said: "The addictive cycle of constant phone use and dopamine driven scrolling is being recognised at a global scale. The World Health Organisation now recognises digital addiction as a global health concern. That is how serious this has become. It's no longer just a bad habit, it's a recognised mental health condition."
