About Light of The Mind Project
Mental Health Awareness, Film premiere, expert panel & reception. Breaking the silence around men’s mental health.
Some men carry everything in silence. On September 10th - that changes.
Light of the Mind Project is a film-based mental health awareness event hosted by Koga Faith Foundation - featuring the world premiere of ONE CALL, a short film written and directed by Dir. Otuya under his JEHOFILMS banner.
The evening includes:
World Premiere - ONE CALL Short Film
Expert Panel - behavioral health, government & community voices
Facilitated Dialogue - honest conversation about depression, PTSD & generational trauma
Reception - connect, heal, continue the conversation
This event is specifically designed for Black men, Men of Color, African men, and men of the diaspora - the most endangered demographic in mental health. Men who have been taught that silence is strength. Men who deserve a room where that changes.
300+ guests. Six expert panelists. One night that could change everything.
Free admission. RSVP required.
Public Parking lot on 8th Street, SE between I Street and Virginia Avenue.

Koga Faith Foundation - Kingdom of God Agencies - is a 508(c)(1)(a) nonprofit organization founded by Bishop Priscilla Otuya, operating at the intersection of film, mental health equity, community development, and faith. With offices in Washington, DC and Lagos, Nigeria, the Foundation develops and deploys community-centered programs that advance mental health awareness, strengthen community identity, and build social capital in underserved and underrepresented populations. The Foundation’s mental health awareness initiative - the Light of the Mind Project - was launched in Lagos, Nigeria in September 2025 and is now expanding to Washington DC with its first U.S. event on Thursday, September 10, 2026 at The Miracle Theater. Led by International Executive Director Jehoshua Otuya, Koga Faith Foundation uses the power of film, facilitated dialogue, and faith infrastructure to reach the populations that clinical systems cannot — meeting men where they are and creating the space for conversations that save lives. @kogafaithorg | Washington, DC | Lagos, Nigeria
