Closing the Gap on Brain Health Awareness

​

The Thriving Brain & Development Project Inc. (The TBD Project Inc.) was founded on a singular, unwavering principle: advancing equity in brain health through culturally responsive education, advocacy, and community empowerment.

Established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, The TBD Project Inc. is committed to closing the gaps in awareness, early detection, and intervention for brain health conditions disproportionately affecting underserved and historically marginalized populations. Grounded in the belief that education is the most powerful tool for transformation, we deliver targeted programs that connect science, community, and culture.

Our initiatives include:

• NeuroSeeds™: A pioneering K–12 educational pipeline designed to integrate brain health literacy and social-emotional learning into core curricula, fostering early awareness and resilience among young learners.

• HBCU Fireside Chats™: A collegiate-level outreach series promoting early detection education, normalizing participation in clinical trials, and cultivating the next generation of diverse neuroscientists and health advocates.

• Eat Well Be Well™: A community-driven nutrition and wellness initiative focused on combating brain and body inflammation through culturally relevant cooking and health literacy workshops.

Through strategic partnerships with medical institutions, educators, and advocacy organizations, The TBD Project Inc. empowers individuals to take ownership of their brain health journeys. We champion a future where no woman, child, or community is overlooked or left behind due to systemic disparities in healthcare access or education.

At The TBD Project Inc., we believe that culturally centered care is not innovation for innovation’s sake — it is survival, grounded in reality. Our work stands as proof that when communities are seen, heard, and equipped with knowledge, they do more than survive — they thrive.
