WHO IS NJAS?
Where is all started:
Not Just A Smile, Inc. was founded in August 2020 by Taylor Marshall as the result of a long standing dream and plenty of time to pursue it due to the pandemic.
Taylor was diagnosed with depression and anxiety when she was in high school. Knowing the lack of awareness around mental health in her family, as well as in the black community, SHE knew the battle that would be ahead. it was only in finding others with a shared experience that she discovered the power of community and the need for education and safe spaces.
OUR MISSION
It is the mission of Not Just A Smile, Inc. to spread awareness of mental health in Black and Brown communities through social advocacy, education, and community service.
HERE'S HOW WE'RE DOING THE WORK:
FEEL IN THE GAP
A free workshop led by licensed clinicians in an effort to provide individuals with tools to better support themselves when therapy isn't always an option.
