Her smile lit up the room. The pain and purpose behind her eyes pulled me in like a magnet. I met Sherma Chambers in Miami who also attended Swim Week to speak on a panel about our mission to give back to our communities and what lead us to do so. Sherma spoke first and in a very brief introduction I learned of the tragic, senseless murder of her 21 year old son, Tyler less than a year ago. Sherma has united forces with her family and community to share a message and mission to the youth. Her message isn't one of revenge or hate. Instead she is fueled by the fierce love of a Mother to help the children see what choices and decisions can do for their own lives and the lives of all of those around them. She shares a message of compassion and hope. We all get to choose our path in life. Love Live King Kobe - a community based foundation taking initiative to provide community healing. This is a powerful message and mission for you to hear. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/shannon-king96/support
