This is a safe and uplifting space for professionals, parents, young people, students, elders, and allies. Together, we are building a home for Somali mental health rooted in dignity, leadership, and long-overdue representation.

Info: Two interactive stations, running side-by-side in one room, invite attendees to pause, participate, and become part of something bigger. These creative workshops are grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed practices, designed by Somali mental health professionals to support healing through identity, storytelling, and community reflection.

Info: A powerful reflection on leading as a Somali Muslim Woman, staying open-minded as a parent, and navigating community complexity. She speaks on the silent wounds many carry, the need for youth to step up with compassion, and her hopes for a new kind of leadership... one rooted in healing, courage, and vision.
