At Saying No 2 Drugs is Cool, our mission isn’t just professional — it’s deeply personal. Founded by Te’ne’Ki Graham, this 501(c)(3) non-profit organization was born from unimaginable loss. The Grahams lost two beloved children to drug overdose:
Cenovia, just 32 — Our alpha, Our strength.
Ivory, only 21 — Our omega, Our light.
Our memory now fuels a powerful purpose: to prevent other families from experiencing this pain. Through advocacy, education, and outreach, we aim to shine a light on the dangers of substance abuse and the importance of early intervention. By sharing Cenovia and Ivory’s story, we hope to spark meaningful conversations, break the stigma surrounding addiction, and encourage others to Just Say No and seek help before it’s too late. Our legacy lives on in every life we touch, every young person we educate, and every parent we empower to protect their children.
