BRAIN HEALTH SPEAKER · NOTICE • PAUSE • ACT
Invite Jazzie Ford to Speak
Brain health deserves attention before a crisis. Jazzie Ford founded LaLa Speaks Foundation after losing her daughter, Jacqueline "LaLa" Rhone, to a ruptured brain aneurysm. Today she brings Notice • Pause • Act to workplaces, schools, faith communities, and health events, so people know their normal, recognize a change, and speak up sooner.
Sudden, severe headache or signs of a rupture? Don't wait. Call 911
MEET THE SPEAKER
Why Jazzie speaks
On stage, Jazzie pairs lived experience with plain, practical guidance. Audiences leave knowing the warning signs, knowing what is normal for them, and knowing exactly when to call 911. She has led 33 brain health engagements and counting.
I didn't even know what a brain aneurysm was until LaLa Speaks Foundation.

SIGNATURE TALK
A practical brain health conversation, simple enough for a fourth grader and serious enough for the workplace. Audiences leave with three steps they can use the same day. It doesn't diagnose anything. It helps people speak up and get the right help sooner.
Notice • Pause • Act
Notice
Know your normal. Pay attention when something feels new, sudden, unusual, or different. Recognize the signs early.
Pause
Don’t automatically dismiss what you’re experiencing. Take concerns seriously. Pause should not be interpreted as delaying emergency help.
Act
Speak up, seek appropriate medical guidance, and get emergency help when warning signs call for immediate life-saving action.
Also available: The Cost of Not Knowing, and From Loss to Lifesaving Advocacy.
