Engaging in dialogue about mental health is tough, but it is essential! And right now, important conversations that address the consequences of systemic racism and anti-asian hate within the APIDA community must be amplified. We are especially thankful to partner with a talented team of Asian Pacific Islander Desi American producers from around the country to create this special {virtual} event.
The mission of This Is My Brave is to empower individuals to put their names and their faces to their true stories of recovery from mental illness and/or addiction through creative storytelling. Our performers choose to express themselves through any of the following — personal essay, spoken word poetry, original song, comedy or dance.
