✨We are grateful to the Arundel Bay Area Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc., for their generous donation during Mental Health Awareness Month. They are dedicated to raising the next generation of African American leaders while enhancing the lives of all children.

In December, the Arundel Bay Area Chapter celebrated 35 years of service with its Sneaker Ball and announced Black People Die By Su***de Too as one of the organizations selected to support through its philanthropic efforts.

Our Executive Director, T-Kea Blackman, attended the event wearing two crowns — quite literally. She was present not only as the leader of our organization, but also as the reigning Ms. Full-Figured National Capital Region Queen, representing her platform, From Pain to Purpose: Saving Black Youth from Su***de.

Their support will directly fund scholarships for the Black Mental Health Awards (BMHA), honoring current and future change-makers in Black mental health.

What began at their 35th Anniversary Sneaker Ball in December has now come full circle. This is more than funding; it is fuel for the next generation.
