Halona Benjamin

My name is Halona Benjamin, I’m 18 year old & I’m a proud member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. One of my greatest passions is serving my people! I enjoy being a leader as well as growing & experiencing different aspects of our Native culture. I love being a voice for those who have yet to find their own & my goal is to light a spark in Natives that I meet so that they in turn can be called to be a voice as well.

I recently found out I’m 1/8th Indigenous on my mom’s side and want to learn more about my tribe. When I ask my mom, she says I’m not enough blood quantum and should learn about ALL indigenous cultures rather than our specific tribe (which she won’t tell me) if I’m interested. Even when I ask for other family’s contact info, it’s a toss up on whether or not they’ll even acknowledge me because I’m trans. What do I do?

Do you have a plan for in case of a mental health emergency?

When your emotions feel like they are on fire, it can be hard to make healthy and safe decisions. A safety plan is like a road map for those moments; it guides you to a safe harbor where you can ride out the storm. Just like you plan for in case of a fire or medical emergency, you should also plan for in case of a mental health emergency. Use this template to create your safety plan for a mental health emergency.
