Grateful to (Save the World from A to Z – Students Take Action Right Now) for inviting me to serve as a guest panelist for their Violence Prevention Day of Impact. From the street to inside the church, the energy was high, the dialogue was real, and every age—from students to adult members—leaned in.
With 25+ years serving youth in child welfare, hospitals, and schools, I know our young people carry so much. Today, we named not only violence but the full spectrum of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), talked openly about mental health, and centered solutions that heal.
Seeing these youth in action was refreshing and deeply inspiring. Thank you for including me in the conversation—and for the work you do every day. Let’s keep building safe, loving, and resilient communities together.
