Announcing Real Talk’s Letter to Myself Campaign

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we are launching the Letter to Myself campaign. Our goal with this campaign is to activate youth and adults to share stories of hope and resilience in support of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ mental health.

Over the last few weeks, we have collected letters from young people writing to their future selves and from older folks writing to their younger selves. We will feature excerpts from select letters on our Real Talk Instagram account throughout the month of May, but the full content of each letter will be available on our website. We will continue updating this page as we feature new content and receive additional letters, so check back often!

This campaign has been a work in progress, in collaboration with Hopelab, an innovation lab and mission investor working to support, heal, and empower young people by harnessing the power of technology. Our shared commitment to improving the mental and emotional health of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ youth and young adults meant we are natural partners in this work. We are grateful for their encouragement and creativity throughout this process.

We invite you to join us in building real moments of connection for the youth and young adults in your life – today and everyday.  

With gratitude, 

Cristina & the Real Talk team
