OUR STORY

The 50 Shirt Series was started with my story of raising not only my children, but also family members and children from the community. Many have lost parents to unjust violence at the hands of law enforcement or to the streets in the urban areas of Massachusetts.

Our story is only one of many in all the 50 states. Of all the urban communities represented across the country, I am sure OUR CRIES collectively go unheard. 

In the aftermath of losing a parent, a child has an unspoken need for stabilization. Numerous areas of resources are lacking for caregivers and the children. Services, access, and resources are few to assist in the ongoing process of coping and healing both mentally and physically, thereby leading to stronger homes and stronger communities being built.  

Through my creativity, resources, and experiences, I want to bring awareness to the mental and physical health needs that exist when a child is stripped from the care of their parents due to unjust deaths. The child’s life has an inescapable need for healing. The struggle for the child and those left to care for them beyond the loss of parents to trauma and violence is essential. By collaborating with others, encouraging volunteerism, and the donations driven by proceeds of shirt sales allow us to realize our vision. A collective of nonprofit organizations whose mission is to heal through art, physical activity, counseling, and education. 
What we do
We deliver real life stories through a visible message approach by creating a space to educate children on expression through art, writing and entrepreneurship. We are creating a community that cares about the children who have lost their parents to the hands of law enforcement.
