I am thrilled to share that I will be participating in REFRAME, a unique evening of storytelling to change the conversation about gun violence in America. As a school nurse, family member survivor and blogger, I have a story to tell. If you are in the NYC area, please join me on Wednesday evening March 11, 2020. This will be a memorable evening of storytelling, understanding the ripple effects of gun violence across generations and creating a safe space to explore hope and solutions through meaningful dialogue.
Here are the important details:
AFFIRM (American Foundation for Firearm Injury Reduction in Medicine) (https://affirmresearch.org) and AIRWAY (https://airwaystories.org/) are joining forces to host Reframe: Changing the Conversation about Gun Violence in America, a fundraising event the evening of March 11, 2020 in New York City.
