💭 “Racism doesn’t just occur on an individual level, and healing, hoping for a different future, requires collective action.” Launched by our partners AAPI Equity Alliance, the HOPE (Healing Our People Through Engagement) Program harnesses the power of community building and collective healing to engage AAPI individuals in dialogue regarding the impacts of racism in our communities.

Following World Mental Health Day, it’s crucial to acknowledge that our kids are not okay. Not only here in the United States, but globally. Around the world, the number of young people struggling with mental health disorders is increasing, and the majority are not getting the help they need.

That’s why the Child Mind Institute marked World Mental Health Day this past Tuesday by convening a panel featuring members of our Youth Council in conversation with Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff and U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. These remarkable young people and visionary leaders came together to discuss the mental health challenges facing kids today, the causes of this crisis, and strategies that everyone — from kids themselves to world leaders — can use to help.⁣ ⁣ “𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘰𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵.

As I reflect on my time at eLuma, it’s incredible to see the growth and the milestones we’ve achieved together. Here are my top three highlights that I'm particularly proud of: Stepping Up as Interim Marketing Director 🏆: Taking on the role of Interim Marketing Director was both challenging and rewarding. It was about more than filling a position; it was a journey of leadership, strategic decision-making, and driving our team towards a unified vision. Holding my own in this role taught me the importance of adaptability and resilience in leadership. Fueling Revenue Goals Through Events 💰: One of the most tangible impacts I've had at eLuma was contributing to our revenue goals through meticulously planned and executed events. From trade shows to webinars, each event was a piece of a larger puzzle that fit perfectly into our revenue strategy. Seeing a 43% year-over-year increase in revenue attributed to these events was not just a win for me but a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication. Mastering New Skills in Marketing Automation and More 🌐: The journey at eLuma was not just about achieving goals but also about personal and professional growth. Learning new skills such as marketing automation, email nurturing, and website building has been immensely fulfilling. These skills have not only enhanced my professional toolkit but also enabled me to contribute more effectively to our team's success. These milestones at eLuma represent more than just individual achievements; they signify our team’s spirit, collaboration, and relentless pursuit of excellence. I’m excited to see what the future holds and am grateful for the opportunities to grow and contribute to this incredible journey. #CareerReflections #TeamSuccess #ProfessionalGrowth #EventMarketing Shoutout to colleagues who helped me this year: Adam Bolingbroke, Samuel Balsama George Dayton, MBA Kyla Coram Aerial Lee Tyler Corwin, SHRM-CP Jeremy Glauser Katherine Sullivan Kyra Muscat and so many more!

💚Mental Health Awareness Month💚 In honor of the “Mental Health Awareness Month” I would like to highlight the importance of therapy and asking for help. Many people refuse to accept that they need help or simply think that they have nothing to talk about. Most of the time this is far from true. In other words, even if you truly think that you do not need help or have nothing to talk about, you will end up “lifting weight of your heart”. Therapy has the power to help you identify and work through anything that could be bothering you. To specify, therapy guides you towards finding the power and strength to overcome challenging circumstances. Give yourself a chance to “unload some baggage” and you will discover that asking for help is a normal part of being a human being. Nobody is perfect, and we all need a shoulder to lean on at some point in life. Even if you think you have nothing to talk about, give yourself a chance, you may be guided to discover that in fact you do have many things to talk about. 💚Therapy is a true gift to humanity, and it has the power to save lives💚
