Circle of Trauma: Bullying in Our Schools
MyMenta Founder & CEO Massa Saba Brown, M.Ed. joined Montgomery Community Media for an hour-long town hall special, Circle of Trauma: Bullying in Our Schools, alongside educators, parents, and community leaders to discuss how bullying impacts youth mental health and what schools and families can do to intervene earlier.
“A parent doesn't just say, ‘How's your day?’ They ask, ‘What's been on your mind lately? What keeps you up at night?’ Asking real, intentional questions to really uncover what could be going on underneath the surface.”

Take Our Kids Back™ Campaign
MyMenta Founder & CEO Massa Saba Brown, M.Ed. joined Living Local DMV (WDCW50) to talk about the Take Our Kids Back™ campaign — why prevention has to start long before a crisis does, and what parents can actually do about it. The segment aired live and is available to watch below.
Mental Wellness as Kids Head Back to School
Massa returned to the air to talk about supporting kids' mental wellness as the new school year begins — what to watch for during the transition back into routine, and how parents can check in early, before small stress turns into something bigger.
“We are not short on love in our homes. We're short on tools, and short on permission to say, ‘I don't know what I'm doing either.’”
“Prevention isn't about having all the answers — it's about staying close enough, long enough, that our kids never have to wonder if we're paying attention.”
“You cannot pour from an empty well. Refill yourself first.”
