Keva Brooks Napper

Founder & Director
An icon of strength and resiliency, Keva Brooks Napper is a powerhouse entrepreneur based in North Carolina. Keva is a three-time Best Selling Author, Speaker, and Humanitarian. She is the Founder of MEEK Legacy, LLC, a family inspired company that supports her mission of inspiring and uplifting through film, literature, and speaking. Her most recent projects include “Invisible Hope” and “Truth of Thorns” which she holds creator, writer, and producer credits for.

For a total of 18 years, Keva has been thriving through Lupus and desires to see others battling any type of invisible illness do the same. To this end, she founded Beautiful Butterflies Inc., a nonprofit foundation used to bring awareness and education on Lupus and other illnesses. She often says, “I can't eradicate illness but I can help eradicate the pain of it,” and shapes her endeavors with this in mind.

Keva’s academic repertoire includes a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education with a minor in English from North Carolina Central University. Throughout the years, she has received a myriad of awards for her service and brilliance as a community leader. Some of those honors include: Teacher of the Year, Guilford County’s Reader’s Choice Best Writer, Women in Organizing — Sheroe Award, and ACHI Non-Profit Executive Director’s Award.

Mental Health Awareness!


Help to carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will obey the law of Christ.
- Galations 6:2 -

The purpose of the Keyon J. Brooks Foundation is to promote optimal mental health awareness through advocacy, education and community resources. We will help to educate the faith community and the community at large about mental health and mental illness. We will seek to help to eliminate the stigma, labels and prejudice. We will help change lives by offering both an academic scholarship and a service scholarship. The academic scholarship will be given to individuals who pursue academic excellence in the field of mental health. The service scholarship will provide information and referral services to navigate the complex delivery system that can impede access to mental health services. We will partner with some of the companies here tonight to make this happen.

In 2019, we held two Mental Health Panels, our first "Stomping Out the Stigma 5k Walk", provided 3 Service Scholarships, and assisted in hosting a Mental Health First Aid training Course where over 25 people became certified!

Beautiful Butterflies, Incorporated and the Keyon J. Brooks Foundation are solely charitable organizations specifically designed to spread Lupus awareness and mental health awareness, to raise funds toward their necessary research and eventual cure. Not only is your generous donation appreciated, but necessary. Rest assured that you will be sowing seeds into fertile ground!
