Still Running

A Powerful Multimedia Journey of Mental Health, Family, and Healing Commissioned Work by Tiffani Dean plus Mental Health Discussion with Gloria Mensah (GK Folks Foundation)

Join us for "Still Running," a gripping multimedia presentation combining film, music, poetry, and storytelling. This deeply personal work follows a woman’s journey navigating the challenges of growing up with a parent suffering from severe mental illness. It explores the lasting impact these experiences have on her life, offering a raw and unflinching look at mental health within families.

Mental health struggles are often carried in silence, wrapped in shame and isolation. Even when resources exist, stigma can keep us from seeking help. "Still Running" aims to break that silence and shine a light on the hidden stories that many feel they must carry alone. Through this powerful narrative, we hope to inspire others to share their truths, seek support, and heal without shame.

This project is about bringing these untold stories into the open, lifting the weight of isolation, and creating space for understanding and compassion. Don’t miss this transformative experience
