Kasei Del Pezzo shares her poem "This Is My Brave" for This Is My Brave Charlotte 2018 at Warehouse 242.
This Is My Brave, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization (thisismybrave.org) is the leading platform for individuals to share their stories of living successful lives despite a diagnosis of a mental health disorder through artistic expression (spoken word poetry, original music and essay readings) on stage in front of a live audience. We're opening up the conversation about mental health disorders in communities all across the country and beyond via our KZfaq channel.
We're shining a light on mental illness because it has been in the dark too long. We're ending mental illness stigma, one story at a time.
