LALA SPEAKS FOUNDATION:
TURNING PAIN INTO PASSION
Born from the life and legacy of Jacqueline “LaLa” Rhone, LaLa Speaks Foundation is a community-centered nonprofit advancing brain aneurysm awareness, brain health education, advocacy, and access to trusted resources.
What began through lived experience has grown into a movement focused on reaching people before a crisis occurs. Through community education, youth programming, creative experiences, partnerships, advocacy, and storytelling, we bring awareness into the places where people live, learn, work, gather, and connect.
Rooted in Missouri and expanding our reach beyond state lines, we are building programming and partnerships that can meet communities where they are. Our work is designed to travel, bringing trusted information, meaningful engagement, and community-centered advocacy to more families and communities as the movement grows.
We believe awareness should begin before a crisis. By helping people recognize warning signs, understand risk factors, advocate for their health, and know when something is not normal, we are working toward a future where more people are informed earlier because Early Intervention Changes Outcomes.
