On July 7th, 2025, Shawn stood before the mayor and city council of Avondale, Arizona, with a heartfelt request: that the city recognize World Brain Day through an official proclamation.
Speaking not just for himself, but in unity with his mother and Brainolicious® founder Genein Letford, Shawn shared their mission which is to engage with local communities and elevate awareness about brain health, brain capital, and the critical role of lifelong prevention, which starts in infancy and childhood.
Shawn shared the 🧠 7 Brain Capital Pillars of the Rainbow:
* Brain Movement
Discover how movement, dance, and exercise enhance brain health.
* Brain Fuel Foods
Learn which foods support cognitive function and overall well-being.
* Brain Creative Intelligence
Uncover creative strategies to stimulate mental stimulation and unlock innovation.
* Brain Peace
Explore techniques for managing stress and creating a calm, brain-friendly environment.
* Brain Rest & Sleep
Understand rest cycles and how artists manage the rhythm of performance and recovery.
* Brain Social Connections
Strengthen interpersonal skills and meaningful relationships.
*Brain Arts Expression
Embrace the healing and expressive power of the arts in everyday life.
Together, Genein, Shawn and the Brainolicious® Team are building bridges between families and city leadership, advocating for a future where brain capital is prioritized, celebrated, and protected—starting at the local level and most of all…
starting with the children.
