Posted By: Brandalyn Gill on February 05, 2020 NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 2, 2020 Contact: Brandalyn Gill – 832.892.0064, mlkdaysummit@gmail.com, www.mlkdaysummit.com “A New Decade of Realization :: Bipolar is the New Genius, The Traumatized The Most Talented :: Abdel-Maajid Baha Becomes the First Financial Sponsor of one of the Most Legendary and Historical Events” The People’s Family Workshop for the Arts/The Peoples’ Workshop Presents Illumination Literary, Houston Area Urban League, National Association of Mental Illness – Greater Houston, Imagiread, NAACP – Houston, Third Ward Initiatives and the 2020 MLK Jr Day Mental Health and Literacy Summit 2020 brings with it a more diversified world, inviting thought and strategies of the most complex issues – thoughts and strategies which may have never been considered. With only 19 days remaining until the 2020 Martin Luther King Jr Day Mental Health and Literacy Summit, young mother, producing actress, HISD Endorsed (2010) author and motivational speaker, and community activist, Brandalyn Gill refuses to give up her fight to put on the 2020 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Mental Health and Literacy Summit and asks the public to think more deeply about mental illness. “This country spends a meager $89.1 billion “ Her daughter, Sinai Gill, is only 5 years old and has been removed from two schools just to return to her zoned school to wait up to 90 days to be tested for special education classes for kindergarten. She has no diagnosis, like many other children, and is incredibly smart but this is the only option Texas has within the public school system. “ … It’s a hard pill to swallow to realize the lack of community on these efforts … I used to wonder what it was like to have your child kidnapped or trafficked, wondering when they would return home - if ever. Now, I know how that feels because I’m looking at my daughter every day but I am not looking at the Sinai I used to know … trauma and abuse have possessed her mind … and it’s sad that nobody cares” Gill says in a recent Youtube video, posted in efforts to continue to galvanize others for her cause. She recently took to the Nation of Islam’s student Regional Minister Abdul Haleem Muhammad of the number 45 mosque of Third Ward, just miles from where the event will be held. She was chosen to speak on KPFT Radio’s “Connect the Dots” Segment alongside Assistant Minister Eric Muhammad on the First Day of Kwanza, holding no truths back. ...
