Video: Mothers Give Heart-Wrenching Accounts Of Life After Losing Sons

ST. CROIX — The first annual Million Mother March, which founder Patasha Tracey says will be held again in May, 2017, was deemed successful for multiple reasons: It mobilized a community — walking from the Canegata Ballpark from 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, all the way to Fort Frederik — to take a stand against the gun violence disrupting the islands, and, among other successes, brought to the fore the pain those left behind must deal with following the violent death of a loved one.

Above, Raslyn Beazer, center, is consoled after giving in to tears pleading for the community’s help in bringing her son’s killer to justice.

I wear many hats, I suppose, but the one which fits me best would be journalism, second to that would be radio personality, thirdly singer/songwriter and down the line. I've been the Editor-In-Chief at my videogames website, Gamesthirst, for over 5 years, writing over 7,000 articles and more than 2 million words. I'm also very passionate about where I live, the United States Virgin Islands, and I'm intent on making it a better place by being resourceful and keeping our leaders honest. VI Consortium was birthed out of said desire, hopefully my efforts bear fruit. Reach me at [email protected].
