About Us

 Finesse Our Minds is powered by an incredible team of staff and volunteers who are passionate about mental health and dedicated to making a difference. Our team is made up of young people who bring a diverse range of experiences, skills, and perspectives to the table.

• L. Finesse Humxn, Founder & Executive Director: Finesse leads our organization with a unique blend of professional expertise and personal experience. As a survivor of suicide attempts and a certified peer specialist, Finesse is deeply committed to providing the support that young people need.
• Our Volunteers: The heart of FOM, our volunteers are the ones making it all happen. From peer supporters who are available 24/7 in our online space to those who help organize events and spread the word on social media, our volunteers are dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for every young person who needs it.

Every member of our team, whether staff or volunteer, shares a common goal: to make sure that no young person ever feels alone in their mental health journey.

 Finesse Our Minds was officially launched in May 2019, but its roots run much deeper. Our founder, L. Finesse Humxn, started FOM out of a personal journey—a journey that included surviving suicide attempts and battling mental health challenges. After experiencing firsthand the gaps in mental health support for youth, Finesse was determined to create a space where young people could find the kind of understanding and help they truly need. With a background in behavior therapy and as a certified peer specialist, Finesse brought together a team of like-minded young people to turn this vision into reality.

Since then, FOM has grown into a thriving community that offers a range of mental health resources and support, all centered around the unique needs of youth and young adults.

At Finesse Our Minds, our mission is to provide life-saving mental health support to youth and young adults. We’re committed to creating a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. Our goal is to destigmatize conversations around mental health, offer peer-led support, and make resources accessible to everyone, no matter where they are in the world. 

We envision a world where talking about mental health is as normal as talking about your favorite show. A world where no young person feels alone in their struggles. A world where every youth has the tools and support they need to thrive.
