Our Vision
Angelo Monsalve Restrepo is a former telecom executive who worked in the industry for over 10 years. He realized the addictiveness of cell phones in 2016 and disconnected his cell phone for a year while deciding how to show up in the world.
For the past 10 years he has dedicated himself to working in and around California, sharing the life enhancing skills of mindfulness and yoga with marginalized communities; namely, inner city schools, jails and prisons
During the pandemic, acknowledging the mental health crisis that young people were facing, specifically due to technology and social media, Angelo embarked on writing a children’s book called Screen Time. The book touches on the themes of anxiety and depression in relation to exposure to social media on their phones. Many of our young people today can identify with the themes in Screen Time in our current social climate.
Impact
Screen Time has reached thousands of kids across Northern California and is currently in 22 schools across the Bay Area and beyond. Our goal is to help students become better digital citizens, build healthier boundaries with technology, and encourage meaningful connections with friends, family, and the outdoors.
