Alexis’ second venture, Brave Space, was created as a response to the mental health crisis of Michigan students. Sharing time with students, they use writing techniques and poetry prompts to help them identify their emotions and find healthy ways to communicate them. Privately funded in 2021, Brace Space became a registered 501C3 in 2022. Alexis gathered an advisory council of counselors, trained dialogue facilitators, certified psychotherapists, and teachers, leading her “Became Brave” curriculum and services into Ingham and Ottawa County schools.

When Alexis is not working tirelessly to make a vital impact on the lives of impressionable youth and clients, she is both entertaining receptive audiences with her thought-provoking poetry and endearing herself to readers with her books or podcasts.
