Can I Grieve

Did you know that June is Gun Violence Awareness Month?

Every year, thousands of families across this country including right here in Washington, DC are forever changed by gun violence. Mothers are burying their children. Families are left grieving, often alone, with nowhere to turn.

That’s exactly why Mothers on Purpose exists.

This June, we’re showing up raising awareness, honoring lives lost, and standing alongside every mother who is still carrying this pain.

Follow us this month as we share stories, stats, resources, and ways you can stand with our community.

🧡 Wear orange. Say their names.

Share this post. Because awareness is the first step toward change. 💜

Sometimes you have to pause and remember how far you’ve come.

I’m celebrating me 📸🎉

Happy Monday 💛

I’m still on a high from this past Saturday.

It felt so good to be back in the community connecting, meeting new people, and just being present. I have to say, really did their thing 👏🏾

So grateful to have been a part of this event.

Now listen… the kids drove me crazy behind that candy 😂 but in the best way. They were NOT playing about those goodie bags.

But what really stood out to me were the affirmation sticks.

People were able to either write an affirmation or write down one thing grief has taught them and that part? That was powerful.

Moments like that remind me why I do this work.
