Ondrew is a brilliant composer, who also records under the names Sangfroids and Joculatrix. They are a data scientist. They are a self-described change-maker fighting socioeconomic and environmental injustice. They are also a wide-open book about their diagnoses, which include bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder.
But rather than saying mentally ill, Ondrew uses the term neuro-divergent. And rather than overcoming mental illness, they’re focused on overcoming society and its barriers.
