Rebecca Wilson shares about the day her world crumbled; her son Maurice was killed.

Violence is a public health concern. It is an epidemic. I know its tempting to just turn off the TV; close the page on your phone; unsubscribe to the news outlet; and think its happening over there to those people. But, looking the other way is not an option. Refraining from talking about it does not mean it does not exist. refusing to read about one more person killed does not make it go away. There is nothing pleasant when a mother hears the unthinkable about her child. And, when she does, she should not bear the burden alone. The problem is society's problem. Every child belongs to all of us. Rebecca Wilson shares her heartbreaking story about the day she got the call. It rocked her world. She felt alone in disbelief when the world stopped. Her precious 18 year old son - a good guy - was shot to death. Say his name: #MauriceWilson We must pray but not simply pray. We just do something to save our children; to save our communities; to save our nation; to preserve the world! #awakensociety #risetothecall

Helping others get a grip on life: Richard "Rick" James shares his commitment to service from the battlefield to the Jailhouse

Richard "Rick" James hails from Norfolk, VA. He joined the US Army at 17 years old. He did not know it then. But, enlisting in the army sparked within him a passion for service. He has served from the battlefields to the jailhouse. After military service Rick became a police officer. Retirement did not stop him. Rick is now an attorney. He works with the NAACP, speaking up for those who cannot speak up for themselves. Importantly, Rick has partnered with the Sheriff's office to start a learning center at the Norfolk Jails. He is helping inmates achieve education that equips them for a better life upon re-entry. Listen to this podcast to learn more about the important work that Rick is doing and how you might get involved.
