💙 I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to present "Is ‘Black Boy Joy’ Enough?: Expanding the Possibilities of Black Male Mental Health & Well-Being" at the 2024 Active Minds, Inc. National Mental Health Conference! 💚 Promoting mental health and well-being is truly an act of justice and humanity restoration. To create these restorative opportunities, we must build visions and narratives of the world we want to experience. My incredible audience did just that, composing narrative themes, hopes, and goals that expand the possibilities and realities of what Black male mental health & well-being could and will look like with our collective effort! This act of world-building can shift how we understand and amplify the lives and minds of Black males. Beyond the presentation, I was fortunate to learn from, meet, and reconnect with so many amazing people! From outstanding mental health advocates and friends [Anthony Sartori, Anushka Gupta, Cadon Sagendorf, Jackie Menjivar, Na Eun “Jiggy” Yoon, Jodi Johnson, Jorge Alvarez, Taylor MacMahon, Trace Terrell, Zoe Tait] to the most supportive staff in the mental health field [Alicia Elms, Errika Brooks, M.S.Ed, Jason Allen, M.S., Jazmine Taylor, Joy Sheppard, Laura Horne, Lauren Cikara, Margo Collins], this conference truly felt like a homecoming and an energizing call to action! Looking forward to coming home again at the 2025 National Conference! https://lnkd.in/gi2f8pDq
