Understanding Transgenerational Trauma 🌟

Transgenerational trauma occurs when the traumatic experiences of previous generations impact the development of individuals, even those who didn’t directly experience the trauma themselves. At Project ORF, we recognize the profound effects this can have on biological, emotional, physical, and mental well-being.

Our mission is clear: to break the cycle of trauma. We provide FREE mental health education and resources, ensuring everyone has access to support without labels or stigmas. Our goal is to encourage, empower, and uplift those affected, with a special focus on marginalized communities. Together, let’s build a future where healing is accessible to all.

When MOVEMENT meets MINDFULNESS, MAGIC is created💚✨

This wasn't just another MixxedFit class...this was PURPOSE in motion!

Yesterday's Mindful Movement MixxedFit class for Minority Mental Health Awareness Month was such an amazing time! We danced, laughed, released, and healed together! Movement is truly the best medicine 😊💞!

Thank you for standing in solidarity and helping shine a light on conversations our communities need to keep having. 💚 Seeing a sea of green in support of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month meant more to me than you'll ever know!

What touched me the most was looking around the room and seeing my students from different locations showing up to support me and this cause that means so much to me 🩷 My OneLife family, my T2 family, my friends, my family, my Eastern Star sister, and so many others all came together to support this beautiful event. That kind of love is something I'll never take for granted. Thank you 🥹

A huge thank you to Project ORF & Shawnice for recognizing that movement is medicine and for trusting me with this incredible partnership. I truly can't wait for what we create together next!

One step. One community. One purpose. 💚🔥 Until we dance again 😘 - Yatta 🩷

Who said learning has to happen in a classroom? 👀

Such a great time facilitating this interactive mental health workshop where students moved, laughed, collaborated, and challenged themselves while building real-life skills. 💥

From teamwork 🤝 and resilience 💪 to positive self-talk 🧠, mindfulness 🌱, and knowing when to ask for help, every activity was designed to make these conversations meaningful, memorable, and fun.

Because the best learning happens when students are engaged, connected, and empowered ✨The basketball themed activities were a big hit! 🏀

Here’s to building confident, resilient young people one experience at a time! 🏀 by @projectorf_

The 3rd Annual Surviving Through Mental Health Community Conversation brought our community together last Thursday for a powerful moment of truth and healing.

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, named in honor of Bebe Moore Campbell; an author, advocate, and co‑founder of NAMI Urban Los Angeles whose work pushed for stigma reduction, culturally informed care, and community‑based mental health education.

We honored the Black and Brown generations who carried burdens in silence so we could speak openly today. Now the work of healing in community is ours, naming what was hidden, facing what hurts, and planting seeds for those who come next.

Thank you to every attendee, panelist, sponsor, vendor, @photographybychad and every volunteer who made this space possible. And a special thank‑you to Shawnice Hernandez, co‑founder of STMH , for her vision and commitment to community.

This moment wasn’t just conversation it was continuation of connection, resilience, and community healing. 💚✨ taken in Attucks Theatre by @projectorf_
