DESCRIPTION:We have all experienced similar circumstances of loss and pain. During the 
 Mothers Helping Hearts 2 Heal Conference we will be coming together with 
 mothers and family members within our communities who share the same 
 experiences and the same pain.\n\nThis will be a day dedicated to healing 
 and empowerment! Together we can ascend past our pain and begin the process 
 of healing so that we can reclaim our voices and resources to establish a 
 national program agenda for the empowerment of mothers/families to become 
 agents of change in our community.\n\nHelping Hearts 2 Heal is about/for 
 mothers who have experienced loss, however, this loss does not have to be 
 specific to a child, for example, this conference is also intended for 
 Patricia DeSantis, who thankfully has her children, but her husband was 
 murdered by Santa Rosa PD. This conference is also for people like Al 
 Osorio & Tracey Bell-Borden who work closely with a mother who has 
 experienced loss, Denika Chatman's son was murdered by SFPD. When they say, 
 "it takes a village to help raise a child", well the same is true to help a 
 mom/family who has lost a child, or a loved one, "it takes a village". 
 \n\nAs we expressed, this day is about/for mothers who have experienced 
 loss, however it is not limited to "mothers"--to quote Al Osorio; "I think 
 in a broad sense, the quality of mothering is to nurture, nurturing is very 
 powerful, very ancestral, something regardless of sex or giving birth we 
 \ncan all aspire to."\n\nAnother clarification about the agenda for the 
 day, while the conference is about loss in general, having a child/family 
 member murdered by police compounds/complicates loss, so there will be some 
 stuff specific to that at the conference, however, that is not the only 
 focus. \n\nOur list of sponsors & endorsers includes: The Alan Blueford 
 Center For Justice SEIU Local 1021 Healthy Communities, Inc. Center Of Hope 
 Community Church Triumphant Worship Center Official Made Man Entertainment
