I’ve been reading about Nakeeshia "Kesha Boo" Strong and her little boy, Bryson, and it’s just so deeply upsetting. I can’t imagine what her family is going through—they’ve lost not one, but two absolutely precious members. What really stood out for me was all the love I’ve been seeing in the comments left for her on the National Gun Violence Memorial website—so many people remembering her kindness and the warmth she shared with everyone. It’s incredibly touching to see a community come together like this, but I also feel a sense of helplessness. How do we make sure their memory brings about real change? This is such a profound loss not just for her family, but for anyone who believes in a safer world. Would love to hear perspectives on how communities are supporting those affected and what more can be done in these times.
