What happens when a library, mental health advocates, artists, healthcare professionals, and a community come together? Unspoken.
We are deeply grateful to the East Brunswick Public Library (EBPL) for partnering with us to create a space where conversations around mental health could unfold with honesty, courage, and compassion.
From the powerful and deeply moving performances by Latika and Meghna, to the spoken word poetry by Shilpi, every artistic expression gave voice to emotions that are often left unsaid.
The “Soliloquies of the Mind” segment invited us into the inner landscapes of struggle, resilience, hope, and healing, reminding us that none of us are alone in our experiences. Thank you Anand Rao for curating these and to our actors Suvendu. Kinnary, Debjani, Jay, Sasha and Veda for delivering it with so much honesty.
To our neurodiverse talent, Ishan, you stole everyone’s heart.
Our heartfelt thanks to our incredible panelists for sharing their expertise, lived experiences, and wisdom during an engaging and thought-provoking discussion that challenged stigma and encouraged understanding.
Last but not the least, special thanks to .s.anand for being such a wonderful emcee.
Yay to ICS committee, Shilpi, and .s.anand - the supertrio.
A special shoutout to ex ICS President who showed up and supported the effort through her presence and powerful performance.
A special thank you to our collaborators and supporters:
💚 EBPL
💚 NAMI
💚 SAMHIN
💚 AAPI
And to every attendee who listened, reflected, shared, and showed up—thank you for helping create a community where difficult conversations can happen with empathy and without judgment.
Some stories are spoken.
Some are danced.
Some are written.
And some remain unspoken.
Together, we made space for all of them.
