Summary

Rosie Van Amerogen (aka Rosie Viva) is a model travelling the world working for top fashion brands including Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. In 2018 Rosie was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and she is now passionate about encouraging and helping people talk about neurodiversity - especially young people within the creative industries.

2023 saw Rosie become the subject of a Channel 4 digital documentary charting her day-to-day experiences of living with bipolar which has amassed over 100,000 views and the Channel has coined her as the next ‘face of mental health’.

With first-hand experience of what it is like to live with a neuro-diverse mind, Rosie wants to inform and educate her audience on the condition itself, as well as the incredible power that music and fitness holds for all of us.
