Monét X Change , a vocal champion for mental health advocacy, brings her charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent to the stage. Monét uses her platform to advocate for self-expression and support mental health through vulnerable storytelling in her art, while creating a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals to feel seen and heard.
Featuring performances, awards, and more, gala tickets can be purchased for $300 each or $3,000 per table at https://onecau.se/reachla. Funds will support REACH LA’s mental health and creative arts programming. Early purchase is encouraged for this sellout event.
