LIBERIAN DIASPORA ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2026
From Dialogue to Delivery

Peace Be Still, LLC will be in the room—not just to attend, but to listen, learn, network, build relationships, and identify opportunities for meaningful collaboration.

As a mental health and community-centered organization, we recognize that dialogue is only the beginning. The real question is: How do we translate what we hear into services, resources, partnerships, and solutions that meet our community where they are?

We’re coming with open ears, an open heart, and a willingness to roll up our sleeves.

Our goal is to strategically position Peace Be Still, LLC in service to the Liberian Diaspora—bringing culturally responsive mental health care, community healing, advocacy, education, and wellness resources to the places where they are needed most.

From conversation to collaboration.
From ideas to action.
From dialogue to delivery.

We’re ready to listen.
We’re ready to learn.
We’re ready to connect.
And most importantly, we’re ready to serve.

🇱🇷 Peace Be Still, LLC — Mental Health. Community. Healing.

✨ NEW WEEK. NEW GRACE. SAME PURPOSE. ✨

Stepping into this new week with peace in my heart, purpose in my steps, and faith in what God is building through me.

I’ve learned that the work isn’t always about having all the answers. Sometimes it’s about creating a safe space.
Sometimes it’s about listening.
Sometimes it’s about reminding someone that their story isn’t over.
Sometimes it’s about healing generations while still learning how to care for yourself.

I am a therapist.
I am an advocate.
I am a community healer.
I am a wife.
I am a mama.
I am an entrepreneur.
I am a peace seeker.
And I am still becoming.

This week, I’m choosing HEALING over hustle, PURPOSE over pressure, PEACE over chaos, and IMPACT over perfection.

May this week remind you that you don’t have to have everything figured out to keep moving forward.

Keep going. Keep growing. Keep healing. Keep becoming.

And above all, BE STILL.
God is still writing the story. ✨

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast…”
Isaiah 26:3

Here’s to another week of mental freedom, meaningful work, authentic relationships, and becoming everything we were created to be. 💜

Peace. Healing. Hope. Belonging. Purpose.

Let’s go, y’all. The week is waiting. 💼✨

🌤️ Bringing you a little bit of sunshine on this rainy Friday! ☀️

A quick round of applause 👏🏾 to everyone who showed up, leaned in, asked questions, shared space, and participated in the NAMI webinar, “Culturally Responsive Approaches to Su***de Prevention in the African Diaspora.” ❤️

These conversations matter. The questions matter. The willingness to learn, listen, challenge old approaches, and make room for culturally responsive care matters.

And to everyone who continues to show up for this work—you are my “why.”

You remind me why I continue to advocate for mental health awareness, su***de prevention, culturally responsive care, and healing in our communities.

Because behind every statistic is a person.
Behind every person is a story.
And every story deserves to be heard with dignity, compassion, and understanding.

Thank you for being part of the conversation. 🌻

We keep moving from awareness to action.
We keep creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, safe, and worthy of hope.

With gratitude,
Therapist T. 💜

I love this for us 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Starting this fall, Minnesota schools will provide mental health instruction to students from fourth grade through senior year. This is an important step toward making mental health education a regular part of growing up. We don’t wait until someone has a serious physical health problem before teaching them about physical health, and mental health deserves the same attention. Young people today are navigating enormous pressures, from social media and technology to challenges affecting their families and communities. They need opportunities to understand what they are experiencing and know where to turn when they need support.

Mental health education is about more than learning the names of mental health conditions. It means helping students understand that it is OK not to be OK, recognize signs and symptoms, understand that mental health conditions are real and treatable, and learn how to respond when they or a friend may be struggling. It also means giving young people the language to start conversations. Sometimes the first step toward getting help is simply being able to describe how you are feeling, recognize that something is not right, or know how to ask someone else if they are OK.

Reducing stigma is another essential part. When we treat mental health as health, young people are more likely to see seeking help as a normal and important part of taking care of themselves rather than something to be ashamed of.

Students also need to know where help is available. That includes resources like 988, as well as trusted adults, educators, counselors, peers and community organizations. Teachers, coaches, school administrators and families all have a role to play in making sure those resources are accessible when students need them.

REGISTER NOW you wouldn’t want to miss this training .

Join NAMI Minnesota for a webinar with Tanya Kennedy, MA, LPCC. Tanya is a licensed professional clinical counselor with over twenty years of experience in the mental health field. She brings a strengths-based, culturally responsive, holistic approach to mental health and healing. Her work recognizes that emotional well-being cannot be separated from a person’s lived experiences, culture, identity, family, and community. Grounded in multicultural and humanistic practices, Tanya centers cultural humility, collaboration, and respect while helping individuals and communities build upon the strengths and traditions they already possess.

Drawing on her extensive clinical experience and culturally responsive perspective, Tanya will explore how su***de prevention efforts can move beyond one-size-fits-all approaches and better recognize the experiences, protective factors, and sources of resilience within African immigrant and African American communities.

🇱🇷 Happy 179th Independence Day to my Mama Liberia! ❤️🤍💙

Today, I celebrate the land that gave me my roots, my resilience, and my story. Though life has taken me across oceans, Liberia will forever live in my heart. I carry her strength, her beauty, and her spirit everywhere I go.

Here’s to honoring those who came before us, celebrating how far we’ve come, and believing in an even brighter future for the Lone Star.

Happy Independence Day, Mama Liberia. May peace, unity, healing, and prosperity continue to rise across our beloved nation.

One people. One destiny. One Lone Star. 🇱🇷✨

Every professional needs mentors—people who give you something to aspire to and who set the standard for excellence.

For well over a decade, mine have been Dr. Oni, Dr. Ola, and Dr. Njoyi—true African mental health stalwarts here in the Twin Cities. Their leadership, humility, and unwavering commitment to our communities continue to inspire me.

What I cherish most is that as they continue to ascend, they never hesitate to bring others along. That kind of leadership leaves a legacy.

Iron sharpens iron. I am grateful to learn, grow, and serve alongside giants in this field.

The 12th Annual Mental Health Summit was a tremendous success. Thank you for creating spaces where knowledge is shared, communities are strengthened, and the next generation of mental health professionals is empowered.

Here’s to continued collaboration, excellence, and healing. 💚🧠

Hello my Peace Seekers 🌿

Mental health is not just personal.
It is shaped by history, culture, identity, and survival. And for many communities…
survival has been the default setting.
You deserve care that understands you.
Not care that asks you to translate your pain…but care that recognizes your language, your lived experience, your humanity.

Tomorrow, as America celebrates 250 years, I find myself reflecting not just on a nation, but on hope. The beauty of this nation has always been found in its people. Every language spoken, every tradition shared, every sacrifice made, and every dream pursued has added another thread to the fabric of America.

Our history is layered with triumphs and trials, progress and growing pains. Yet I still believe that we are strongest when we choose compassion over division, community over fear, and belonging over exclusion.

Today, I celebrate the freedom to serve, to heal, to give back, and to stand in the gap for those whose voices are often unheard. That, to me, is part of the American promise.

Happy 250th Birthday, America.

Land of the free. A beacon of hope. May we never stop becoming the nation we aspire to be. 🇺🇸❤️

🌿 Hello, July.

July is Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to honor the resilience, stories, and healing journeys of communities that have too often been overlooked, underserved, and unheard.

As a therapist, I know that mental health does not exist in a vacuum. It is shaped by our lived experiences, our cultures, our histories, our joys, and our struggles. For many in marginalized communities, healing means carrying not only personal pain but also generational wounds, systemic barriers, displacement, racism, and the weight of survival.

Yet, I also know this truth:

We are more than what we’ve endured.

Healing is possible.
Joy is possible.
Peace is possible.

This month, I invite you to choose yourself without guilt. Check in on your loved ones. Rest without apology. Seek support without shame. Tell your story when you’re ready. And remember that asking for help is not a sign of weakness—it is one of the bravest acts of self-love.

At Peace Be Still, LLC, we remain committed to creating spaces where every person feels seen, heard, valued, and empowered to heal.

May this month remind us that mental health is a human right, and equitable, culturally responsive care should be available to everyone.

💚 Because healing isn’t just individual—it is collective.

The fruit speaks for itself.
My receipts live in the transformed lives, the healed hearts, the people who found their way back to themselves after crossing paths with me.

I don’t take that lightly.
To walk in my gifts daily, to pour from a place of purpose, service, and truth — that is both an honor and a responsibility.

For all of it, I am humbled.
Deeply grateful.
And committed to continuing the work with grace, compassion, and intention. 🙏🏾✨
