She Matter's Conference (May 12)

 SHE MATTER'S Conference- motto is
"I Matter, You Matter, SHE MATTER'S!"
 It was a wonderful opportunity to be able to educate these lovely young ladies and later in the day their parents on SAVE, and my platform- Take a Stand B.R.A.V.E.

The "Welcome" committee- these young ladies were so excited. I had just arrived and walked into the lobby area  and it was a mad rush of young ladies to meet me and grab a photo op. This is also what makes my job so much fun. To put smiles on their faces.

American Heart Association - Heart Ball (April 14)

 Kristyn and I were invited to the 20th Annual  AHA- "Heart Ball" in Richmond. It was a beautiful night and they were able to raise a substantial amount of money. Way to go AHA! I personally was moved by the video presentation they did and having the survivors stand. WOW just breathtaking. It was also a wonderful evening because my husband Stuart was able to join us and help volunteer. - Thanks Honey! 

SAVE meeting (April 4)

Stuart and I had the opportunity to go and meet with the Director for the nationalsave.org Carleen Wray. Thank you Carleen! I'm looking forward to the wonderful and upcoming things we have scheduled on making a difference in the lives of our youth.

Thank you Dateline NBC (April 2)

Thank You Dateline NBC for showing the real truth behind the Phoebe Prince case 2 yrs ago on bullying. I strongly believe that ALL our administration, teachers, guidance, parents and students need to be better educated on bullying/ cyber bullying. We need to stand together as communities to make a difference and not lose anymore children to this epidemic. God Bless!

Once Upon a Prom (March 30)

 This event was held in Arnold, Maryland and was a blast. We were their Fairy Godmother's helping these wonderful and beautiful young ladies picking out dresses, accessories, and shoes. The young ladies were given the opportunity to have make up tips by Mary Kay consultant as well as scrapbooking materials so they could make their own pages for there special evening. It was amazing to see there smiles and how thrilled they were for this opportunity.

The Bully Project- movie (March 30th)

"The Bully Project" documentary/movie will be aired in select theaters on March 30th. I find it interesting that we make a documentary on Bullying for what should be ALL kids seeing it but yet it has a  rating of "R", because of this rating is why our youth will NOT be able to view it only 18 years and up. This is why our society is the way it is and how is this going to reach our children to make a difference.. We make a documentary about the pervasive problem among our youth and we can't even show them. The kids that really need to see it won't be able to. I'm a mother of 3 who's children have had to endure being bullied I'm an advocate, and I'm passionate about ending this epidemic. TAKE A STAND AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE , advocate for this rating to be changed so ALL of our youth can see it. It is up  to us to have a VOICE. It ends NOW!
GOD BLESS!!!!
