Unbeknownst to most people, and at 16 years old, Kyrah J. Altman channeled her early childhood trauma and mental illness into the co-founding of Let's Empower, Advocate, and Do (LEAD). In the nine years since, Kyrah scaled her student-found nonprofit into the international industry leader of mental health and diversity, equity, and inclusion education. Kyrah’s niche is empowering higher education leaders to support the mental health of their staff and students by building trauma-informed, culturally competent, and LGBTQIA2S+ inclusive workplace communities. Altman is also credited with developing the nation's FIRST mental health certification tailored to an academic setting for students and the adults who serve them, known as School Mental Health certification.
Since LEAD's founding, Kyrah has been featured in numerous national publications and was named one of 10 Outstanding Young Leaders by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce in 2019, as well as one of the nation's 25 Under 25 leading social entrepreneurs in 2020. Kyrah travels the world, speaking about the impact of social entrepreneurship on trauma survivors, the importance of proactive mental health education in historically marginalized communities, and the idea that "while not everyone has a mental illness, everyone can improve their mental health." Kyrah resides in her home state of MA as a proud dog and plant mom with a deeply-rooted love for arts and crafts and Kripalu. Learn more about Kyrah & LEAD’s founding story at www.LEADnow.org.
