NAMI Maryland

important to us all!

Last week our co-founders Rayetta Michael and Stacy Derrick, EMBA had an amazing time at NAMI Maryland’s event, Inside My Head, a musical written and directed by Zak Sandler. Zak’s autobiographical performance explores his personal journey with bipolar disorder. What an amazing way to build awareness and reduce stigma around complex mental health diagnoses. We were so honored to attend and meet Zak in person!

I am so grateful to be a Board Member, 2nd Vice President, and Committee Chair at such a fantastic organization that continues to make a significant impact across Maryland. Our commitment to mental health awareness, advocacy, and support is truly inspiring. Great job to everyone involved!

What an incredible evening at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center Gildenhorn Ricital Hall supporting Broadway pianist Zak Sandler’s production of “Inside My Head: The Muscial”, hosted by NAMI Maryland. A one-night-only performance that bravely explored the complexities of living with anxiety, mania, depression, and bi-polar disorder. Outstanding performance??

What an incredible night! Thank you to everyone who came to this completely SOLD-OUT show of "Inside My Head: The Musical" written and performed by Zak Sandler at the The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center Gildenhorn Recital Hall. This groundbreaking, one-night-only production took each of us on a personal journey to examine the deepest, most vulnerable parts of ourselves-—the ones we may not want others to see—and reveal how we can move from shame and denial to self-love and acceptance.
