Week Against Violence
This week was the National Week Against Violence along with our partnership with Black Women for Positive Change. We had our annual event at 51st and Vermont at the Boys & Girls Club. I thank them for allowing us to come and speak to the children in the community about gang violent and bullying. We had as a guest speaker Ms. Amber Pope who is a MSW and who is the Founder & CEO of S.T.A.R.S. Striving Together & Reveling Strength. We had a turn out of over 50 kids and it was amazing. Thanks to those who came out support this important and powerful event.
