Over the past few years, I’ve been traveling across Cincinnati giving talks about mental health and mental illness, partnering with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) to help destigmatize conversations that are too often kept in the dark. From classrooms to community centers, I’ve been sharing stories, resources, and hope; after all, mental health deserves the same compassion, visibility, and advocacy as any other health issue. This work is personal, powerful, and just the beginning.
