The Purple Lady · Lagos, Nigeria
Advocating wellness.
Creating voices that stay.
I'm Comfort Alugo Onwe — mental health advocate, content marketer, voice artist, actor and host. I founded The Healing Minds Community to bring psychological literacy to Nigerian youth, and I help brands and stages find a voice people remember.
What I do
Advocacy, content, voice and stage — making sure the right people hear what matters.
Mental health advocacy
Founder of The Healing Minds Community and member of the Global Mental Health Action Network — driving grassroots outreaches, school programmes and stigma reduction across Nigerian states since 2020.
Content marketing
Voice and tone systems, editorial calendars and campaigns your team can actually sustain — built at SCIWA Africa, where I lead content end to end.
Voice-over & acting
Warm, clear reads for explainers, ads and audio brands — plus on-screen work including the series Shadows Within. One instrument, many registers.
Hosting & speaking
On stage at TYATYC, TEDxUniben and 3MTT Nigeria — curating speakers, holding rooms and making full-day events feel like one conversation.
Recent highlights

About
They call me The Purple Lady — one colour, worn with intent. In 2020 I founded The Healing Minds Community, a non-profit bringing mental health awareness and direct support to young Nigerians through grassroots school outreaches, stigma reduction and community-led programmes that have since spread to several states. As a member of the Global Mental Health Action Network, I use every platform I have to pioneer psychological literacy and wellness, particularly among youth and students.
Beyond advocacy, I lead content at SCIWA Africa, record voice-over for brands, act on screen — including the series Shadows Within — and convene TYATYC, a conference on creativity, mental health and finance for young people. I've also led marketing and PR for TEDxUniben, and hosted 3MTT Nigeria in 2024.
Off the clock? Still purple. Ask me about it — I have a whole speech.
"We are more worried about who we are not than who we are."
— Comfort Onwe, speaking at TYATYC
What people say
From conferences to voice booths — in their own words.
I attended the TYATYC conference organised by Comfort Onwe and it was totally worth it. The speakers, panelists, and convener all gave us their best! It was a room of possibilities, implementation, and mastery.
Tracy Djedje
TYATYC Attendee
She mentioned two tools of a sane creative: the tool of identity, and the tool of choice. "We are more worried about who we are not than who we are" — a statement that has been stuck in my head.

I watched your series, Shadows Within, and you nailed it!
