Project Blackbird: From Wounds into Wings

After battling an eating disorder, Alexandra Miles could have stayed silent. Instead, she chose to speak,  transforming her pain into a movement that's changing lives around the world. As the founder and CEO of Project Blackbird, Alexandra brings unfiltered conversations about mental health to high schools, colleges, and underrepresented communities, pairing her powerful short film with panel discussions featuring athletes, actors, and public figures. Her mission: to break stigma, connect people with free therapy and resources, and remind us that healing is possible. In this unapologetic and deeply moving conversation, we travel into the danger of perfection, the glitter and rot of celebrity influence, and the silent war waged on our children through social media's curated illusions. We talk about a world chasing sameness, where originality is starved in the name of "beauty"  and how to rise above it. Alexandra's story is living proof that pain, when faced with courage, can become power  and that one voice, spoken without apology, can heal hearts and minds throughout the world.
