Our Mission
Hushed No More tackles the tragedy of committed athletes who self-destruct when their ambitions are not fulfilled or they age out of professional competition. With loss of purpose comes depression and anxiety. Substance abuse, financial mismanagement, sexual promiscuity, toxic relationships and other misbehavior often follow. Through mentorship and education, Hushed No More is here to help.
We can no longer remain quiet about our sports mental health crisis, nor turn a blind eye or a deaf ear. We can no longer stay hushed. We must unite together under one mission, our mission of athletes becoming - Hushed No More.
Our Goal
Hushed No More is an organization that is dedicated to furthering mental health awareness within middle school, high school, college and professional athletic communities. We support active and retired athletes with their mental health needs through education and mentorship.
Our Founder
Playing professionally for the WNBA, and internationally for Greece, Turkey, Israel,
South Korea, Portugal, and Spain, I prided myself on being successful and bringing notoriety to the teams that I played for, making both my home city of Fort Wayne, IN and my family proud.
When my career ended, I fell into depression, feeling deep sadness that I still had not achieved all of the many goals that I had unrealistically set for myself. The deep disappointment manifested as extreme weight gain, alcohol abuse, self-isolation, self-sabotage and depression.
I overcame these struggles, and this propelled me into my present purpose, where now I actively seek to help other athletes overcome the trauma of their sports career disappointments. I have spoken at local, national, and international venues and sports camps.
