It’s black history month.
Last year I went to visit the George Floyd Memorial in south Minneapolis, a moving experience.
I met a wonderful human named Dr. Remi Douah who is doing some incredible work from the memorial. Inspired by his son, he set up www.846S.org (Donate for Mental Health Sessions of Youth | 846s.org) an association supporting black mental health issues and doing some amazing work in the community!
(Check out the link above).
In this interview Dr.Douah explains the work he does and how it all came about, and how he continues to help people on a daily basis, from his humble stand underneath a tree.
I would like to share with you some coverage from
KARE11 & PBS about our work at 846s.org.
Youth-led organization works to get south Minneapolis access to mental
health help
