Be Smooth, Inc.

Be Smooth, Inc. is a community-based organization in Stockton, California founded in 2018 by Lecia Harrison in honor of her son, Brandon Harrison, a 20-year-old rising leader in the movement for youth justice and a powerful advocate for education and healing. Our mission is to foster school communities where youth and families heal, grow, and create change.

Be Smooth, Inc. aims to do this by supporting the healthy well-being of community members, families and youth. Promoting education, healing, and positive youth development; coaching students on life skills and tools for positive decision-making;  supporting students and their families in successfully navigating the educational, mental health, juvenile justice and other systems that create obstacles and challenges to positive outcomes. This can be accomplished by facilitating opportunities for relationship-building between schools, families, and communities; and educating policymakers.
