Kate Spade New York 4th Annual Global Summit on Women’s Mental Health

At a recent Kate Spade New York event, Dr. Alfiee underscored the urgent need to center mental health support for children and teens of color as essential to their growth and identity. Through her work with The AAKOMA Project, she highlighted the unique stressors young people of color face—from cultural stigma to systemic barriers—and the importance of culturally responsive, early mental health care. Her message called for shifting from crisis response to nurturing resilience and authentic expression.
