Today we’d like to introduce you to Jose Cabrera.
Jose, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
ASiMRacing Experience started as a project where I wanted to share my sim racing experience. Sim racing quickly became a tool where I began to see many benefits for my mental health. From that, Racing For Mental Health became the entire idea of the platform. I wanted to share those benefits through sim racing.
Has it been a smooth road?
There are always struggles from financial, to just getting others to support what you are doing. I have been fortunate, though, where those struggles feel like lessons right from the beginning and they teach me so much, which ultimately leads me to accomplish everything I want to do.
We’d love to hear more about your work.
The idea behind this project is to connect people and to play my part in attempting to de stigmatize mental health. It’s a lifestyle I live now and I consciously always try and maintain my authenticity, which I hope will play a role in making mental health a subject everyone can talk about.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
Yes. This can really be done anywhere. It’s a matter of showing that it is ok to share thoughts about mental health. Everyone deals with it. I truly believe a lot of people don’t know how to deal with it properly because at least I spent most of my life believing that I had to do things I certain way to be a “normal” person in society.
