Grammy-winner AB Quintanilla's participation is a powerful testament to the healing power of shared stories and supportive communities," said Alexandra Miles, director of Project Blackbird. "We're honored to have him join our #ShedShame campaign alongside NAMI and Maybelline New York's Brave Together Program.

This campaign tackles mental health challenges, particularly within the eating disorder community. It aims to:

Educate and empower: By providing resources and fostering open conversations, the campaign aims to break down shame and empower individuals to seek help.

Promote self-acceptance and recovery: The focus is on creating pathways towards healing and self-love.

Build a stronger community: Through events featuring celebrities, influencers, and mental health advocates, the campaign fosters a more informed and supportive network.

Project Blackbird's programmatic tour featuring the short film 'Blackbird' and celebrity panels will provide participants with actionable steps to address shame, connect with resources, and build resilience. The partnership with NAMI and Maybelline ensures comprehensive support and information are readily available.

Overall, the #ShedShame campaign offers a multifaceted approach to mental health, aiming to create a more informed, compassionate, and resilient community.
