At the NAMI (@namiwla, @namica, @namicommunicate) Mental Health Gala, @Jewel took the stage to share her powerful story — one that began with a difficult childhood in Alaska and a journey through homelessness, fear, and self-discovery.
The excitement is building! 💚 This Thursday, May 8, the #NAMIWLA 2025 Mental Health Gala takes over the Crystal Ballroom at the Beverly Hills Hotel 🌿✨
🌿 Community connection in action! 🌿
We had an amazing time tabling at the Mental Health Wellness & Resource Fair in Culver City, sharing resources, support, and good vibes.
