Bebe Moore Campbell was an advocate for Mental Health Awareness. This excerpt is from NAMI National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)

However, her impact extended beyond her literary works.

She co-founded NAMI Urban Los Angeles and became a national change agent whose groundbreaking work revolutionized the way we approach mental health in underserved communities. She recognized and understood the detrimental consequences of silence rooted in stigma — one of the reasons for the lack of mental health care and treatment within communities of color.
