Brendan Nnajiofor

Hi! My name is Brendan Nnajiofor, and I’m originally from Bakersfield, California. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball recreationally with my friends, attending fun community events, and anything that involves good food and good conversation. I joined NAMI because mental health advocacy is incredibly important to me. I believe that everyone deserves access to support, understanding, and a sense of belonging, especially when life gets overwhelming. 

Through my own experiences and the communities I’ve been part of, I’ve seen how transformative it can be when people feel genuinely seen and supported. I’m excited to help build inclusive spaces where students feel empowered to prioritize their mental health. Going forward as a member of NAMI, I’m looking forward to growing alongside this community and helping foster meaningful change on and off campus.
