Alaafia Student WELLNESS INITIATIVE

Led by wellness visionary and educator Akua T.J. Robinson, the Alaafia Student Support
Initiative is on a mission to bring healing, hope, and mental wellness to Black students across
the country. In a world where stress, burnout, and trauma are all too common, Alaafia creates a
safe, affirming space for students to reconnect, reset, and restore.

We’re launching this annual campaign to raise $25,000 to fully fund three wellness retreats in 2025-2026, build our mentorship programs, deliver self-care kits, groceries and to provide scholarships and expand the Alaafia Student Initiative nationwide. When you give, you are not only supporting a program—you are becoming a co-creator of a legacy rooted in healing hope and purpose.

“I’ve been trying to get sober for half my life—and now, after meeting you, I’ve been sober for 60 days.” – Alaafia Retreat Participant
