Our Partners in Rare Disease
Meet Our Founder
Lakeia Nard
As the CEO and Founder of Melanin Children Matter, I'm dedicated to children's well-being. Raised in Wisconsin, I faced challenges as a single mother of five, instilling values of perseverance and empathy in my children.
My youngest's rare disease diagnosis fueled my passion for advocating for children's health. Through Melanin Children Matter, I provide support and education for families facing similar challenges, emphasizing health equity and social justice.
My advocacy extends beyond my organization, shedding light on the unique obstacles melanin children face. My journey from adversity to advocacy illustrates the power of compassion and determination, leaving a lasting legacy of hope and change.
