Trayvon Martin Foundation To Host Summit For Mothers Who Have Lost Children to Gun Violence
Uptown / CocoaFab ^ | May 3, 2014

Posted on 05/03/2014 4:45:23 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The Trayvon Martin Foundation will host a two-day healing retreat for mothers who have experienced gun violence.

The “Circle of Mothers Empowerment Retreat,” spearheaded Sybrina Fulton will be held in Weston, Florida from May 16-18 and will include workshops, empowerment seminars, and keynote speeches by influencers including rapper Tupac Shakur‘s mother Afeni Shakur.

Fulton is inviting all mothers, not just African-Americans, who have lost a child. “The loss of a child is unbearable,” she said in a statement. “The goal of this retreat is to gather together women, who like myself have experienced every mother’s nightmare.”

Both Shakur and Fulton have lost sons very publicly and have transformed their loss into social change. Both hope this weekend will help mothers by giving them the tools to “take the progressive steps forward towards healing,” said Fulton.

Will the workshops include how to break into people’s houses? Or how to roll a joint? Or how to beat someone near to death?

The St. Skittles Foundation....Ha !!

he met his demise a little sooner than he might have, but he would still be in the same place by now, or in a year or two.

He was headed for jail, and an early grave. Zimmerman jsut gave it a jump start.

Thx for your input. As the late great Paul Harvey would say, you’ve given us “the rest of the story.”

“I would love to see financial statements from this foundation. It would be interesting to see who donates, what the expenses are, and who the salaried employees/directors are.”

Me too! I’m sure we’d see a real rogues’ gallery of the “usual suspects”.

A two-day healing retreat for mothers who have experienced gun violence ... should be based ONLY on the TRUTH !
Home schooling is the ONLY way to go.

Start with teaching your children the FACTS that liberals despise.

Its like "Holy Water" against these "life-sucking", "life-destroying" vampires.

First show them that
Then show your children these links:
That should be a good start , and that should drive those VILE teachers into insanity.

Do you think they might ever host a summit for mothers of Black children lost to Black violence? I’m willing to bet the attendance might be just a tad higher. And yes I know..............RACIST!

Martin has become a money making industry. Hey! Anytime you get a chance to make some big bucks off an idiot getting himself killed, go for it!

Should be a seminar for “Mothers” on how to control those “Little Trayvon’s” that play the knock out game, break into houses etc. etc.
