Vincent A. Lanci

I was left for dead. My name is Vincent A. Lanci and I am a Traumatic Brain Injury Survivor. After being the victim of a near-death hit-and-run accident while on foot, I learned to prioritize my mental health.

At first, there was speculation if I would make it through the initial night, but as I remained alive, the doubts switched over to that I may need 24/7 aide for the rest of my life, never go to the bathroom on my own, walk, or talk properly again.

As a Tampa, FL based entrepreneur, I am a Youth and Trauma Speaker, Host of 3 shows including A Mental Health Break Podcast, and a 6x Published Author with mental health books for each age group with the goal of helping children nationwide.
