C.O.R.E had an AMAZING time speaking & creating with the teen girls at the Young Enterprising Sisters Conference in New Jersey on May 11th. Our topic was “Do What You Love” & overcoming barriers to achieve your dreams! We had open discussion and created vision boards for the girls to be able to see thir goals!
It seems as if violence is getting worse and worse each day. We all must come together & put an end to these senseless murders, especially our youth.
D’Asia Robinson, 14 year old, was killed last Saturday after being shot in the head by a stray bullet while riding a city bus.
The NYC teen and her friends were leaving a Sweet 16 party and while they were on the way to another birthday, a bullet came through the bus window.
Friends have created vigils for the slain young lady, and the tragedy has sparked renewed calls from community leaders and residents for an end to the senseless violence.
From NewsOne:
Robinson’s friends gathered on the street where she lived to mourn her loss . They made several memorials of Robinson, one near the bus stop where she was killed. One of her friends who was with her before her death was dismayed at the shooting.
“She was happy, she was having fun. We were all dancing with each other – that’s why it’s so shocking,” Tamia McDaniels, friend of Robinson, said. “I was just with her and an hour later, after I left the party, I hear she’s killed – it’s just so unexpected.”
One community leader called on residents to come together and fight for an end to the senseless violence.
Our prayers are with D’Asia’s family and friends at this troubling time.
We have to help each other realize that life is valuable and everyone deserves to live a full life.
How can we put an end to these senseless acts of violence??
