Our Story
In 2021, creative solopreneurs LaGina R. Harris & Melissa Mel co-produced the 1st ever hybrid conference dedicated to destigmatizing & amplifying melanin mental health — without meeting in person until just 18 hours before start time.
The annual Melanin Minds Mental Health Conference has grown to a multi-day can’t-miss experience, partnering with the Houston Texans YMCA & the Greater Houston Big Brothers Big Sisters for interactive conversations, hands-on healing, local vendors, free self care services, family-friendly classes, & so much more.
Now an official 501(c)3 & an innovative thought leader in preventative mental health spaces, we gear our intergenerational programming to challenge societal stigmas & strengthen the mental health narrative of historically marginalized communities. Our events, from flagship to bespoke, activate interactive conversations & experiences built around our 5 key pillars of wellness:
Mindset Shifting • Aligning • Relationships • Nutrition • Holistic Healing
