💚 Meet the heart behind the mission. Dr. LaTonya Summers founded the Black Mental Health Symposium out of a deep-seated commitment to offering culturally responsive interventions for community healing. "My goal has always been to create a space where we don't just talk about the problems, but we walk away equipped to reclaim our wellness."
