The American Alliance for Black Mental Wellness (AABMW) is breaking stigma and building paths to mental health for Black communities.

No More Shame. Just Healing.

Meet the Co-Founders

For Kenya and Dianna Hobbs the mission is deeply personal. Their journey—navigating Dianna’s brain injury and supporting their son Kaleb, who lives with Bipolar II Disorder and OCD—fuels their passion to make mental health support accessible, compassionate, and stigma-free for all Black communities.

Dianna is a brain trauma survivor and founder of Empowering Everyday Women Ministries. A passionate mental health advocate, she shares her healing journey through her blog, Your Daily Cup of Inspiration, helping break stigma in Black and faith-based communities.

Kenya is co-founder of the American Alliance for Black Mental Wellness and a committed advocate for health equity. With a background in civic and nonprofit leadership, he works to expand access to mental wellness resources in underserved communities.
