“The duke and duchess definitely lit a spark that we’re just happy to keep going and growing,” Afam Onyema, CEO of the GEANCO Foundation, which organized a mental health summit for teens in partnership with Archewell, tells Vanity Fair.

Onyema told Vanity Fair that Harry gave a speech outlining some of his own mental health struggles, and it had a visible impact on the students. “He inspired those kids to open up and realize it’s okay to not be okay,” he says. “They were inspired so much by Harry and Megan. From the questions they asked about mental health, you could tell they were so hungry to learn more.

“Harry mentioned it during his talk: Do you see a friend in class who looks down? Do you see someone you’re playing with is not feeling well? It’s about asking, Are you okay?” Onyema explains. Then the curriculum continued unpacking those themes with trained facilitators.
