Be the Light's mission is to fight the stigma of mental illness, especially in historically excluded communities, through advocacy, empowerment, and education, while encouraging every person to, "Find YOUR light, BE the light, and Turn your light UP!" This scholarship seeks to honor the legacy of Tiara Dunbar-Thompson; Eula Lee Miles; and Robin (Whiting) Griffin, as these three impeccable women left their light for all of those who loved them to continue to shine on!
