Survivor

I claim my right to exist and my right to continue to function and prosper
Even in situations of Death
I choose to remain alive

My purpose is driven by the death of my oldest son Shawn who was murdered on August 26, 2014. I had two choices. I could stay down and do nothing or I could get up and fight. I chose to get up and fight. I learned that during this time I was Very Necessary. Necessary meaning I can not be frustrated no matter the contrary. I am here to fulfill a need. I am a must. I am an absolute. I am Very Necessary. This purpose has given me the vision not only to set up a foundation in my son's honor but also to open a school. The Shawn Moss Wellness And Growth Foundation School. Do I have the whole picture? No. What I do have is the vision and I have started the frame out. The edges if you will. Just like a puzzle. In all of this I choose to free fall. I have found my People Parachutes that will pull the rip cord before I hit the ground. I speak for those that can't speak. I give voice to those that want to and can't. I speak so others won't have to tell the story that I tell in hopes of ending Gun Violence.
