Atlanta, GA - CAREGDImage: https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2122.png, a culture-forward wellness brand, activated across Atlanta and Los Angeles during Mental Health Awareness Month-hosting check-ins with athletes, barbers, and firefighters to make emotional wellness visible in overlooked spaces.

Through a series of grassroots conversations-some filmed professionally, others raw and real on a phone camera-founder Lisa C. Williams and her team brought visibility to emotional wellness in spaces that are often overlooked. From athletes to barbers to first responders, CAREGDImage: https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2122.png showed up where mental health often gets buried under performance, pressure, and silence.

"We didn't always have perfect lighting or a full camera crew-and we didn't need it," said Lisa C. Williams, founder of CAREGDImage: https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2122.png. "Sometimes, it was just me, a couple of young men, and a mic-asking real questions that don't get asked enough. This month was about presence, not perfection."
