NAMI Sharing Hope: Community Conversations

NAMI Sharing Hope brings Black and Brown communities together to spark real, honest conversations about mental health, healing, and collective well‑being. This gathering is designed for us — a space where our stories, our experiences, and our voices lead the way.

Through guided dialogue, lived experiences, and culturally grounded connection, we work to lift stigma, deepen understanding, and empower our community with practical coping strategies and pathways to wellness.

Conversations are led by Black and Brown NAMI‑trained facilitators who create a supportive environment for truth‑telling, vulnerability, and hope as we navigate mental health together.

We invite you to join us for an evening of fellowship centered on wellness, meaningful dialogue, and community healing. Food and refreshments will be provided, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere where we can connect, recharge, and show up authentically.

Come as you are and be part of a community committed to healing, support, and shared strength.

Keynote Address Featuring Brittany Richmond

We're Not Gonna Take It: Authentic Leadership in a World of Expectations A Tell Me More Method™ Experience

In a world where women leaders often feel pressure to perform, comparison takes over, perfection becomes the goal, and the need to prove ourselves never seems to end, authenticity can start to feel like a risky choice. But what if the most powerful leadership tool isn’t perfection… Is it honesty? In this unforgettable keynote experience, Brittany Richmond invites women to challenge the expectations, comparisons, and internal “lies” that keep them striving for perfection. Blending powerful storytelling, meaningful conversation, and a dose of 80s rebellion, Brittany creates more than a keynote… she creates an EXPERIENCE that invites attendees to reflect, connect, and get real about the pressures they carry as leaders

KEY OUTCOMES & AUDIENCE IMPACT:

• Recognize the hidden narratives shaping how you lead.  Attendees will identify how comparison, expectations, and perceived limitations influence their leadership and learn how these internal “lies” can quietly shape confidence, decision-making, and authenticity.

• Use the Tell Me More Method™ to interrupt self-doubt and build self-awareness.  Women will learn how Brittany’s evidence-based Tell Me More Method™ uses curiosity and conversation to challenge limiting beliefs and create space for growth, clarity, and confidence.

• Lead with authenticity through connection instead of perfection.  Participants will leave with practical ways to foster meaningful conversation, strengthen connection, and lead with courage rather than striving to appear perfect.
