| Description | | Morning Keynote Speaker:
Angee Stevens, LCSW, has captivated audiences from all walks of life through the
vulnerability of sharing her lived experiences. Angee’s unique ability to merge
humor with tragedy takes you on a journey of what it was like growing up with a
mother diagnosed with Schizo-Affective Disorder and witnessing her mother’s
erratic and unpredictable behaviors. You are invited to hear her story of resilience
and strength as she shares how her mother's mental health challenges impacted
the way she learned to navigate systems of support, including education, from
early childhood until now. You will laugh. You will cry. Heck, you might even cry
from laughter. More importantly, you will walk away with simple strategies that
inspire confidence in who you are and promote a renewed awareness of the shared
humanity connecting us all.
