A former student recently left this review for From Mourning To Life, and I’m truly humbled by it.

“The poems feel personal and real… You can feel how much love there is behind the sadness.”

If you’ve experienced loss — or know someone who has — this book may speak to you too.

“He was young. He was struggling. He was trying to find peace.”

Hailee shares the story of her brother Bradley, who died at 20 after taking a Xanax pill laced with fentanyl.

A powerful reminder that overdose victims are more than labels or statistics.

First public reading of From Mourning To Life at Nassau Community College—nerves at first, then something shifted.

An engaged audience, meaningful reactions, and a moment that made it all real.

Now it’s about connection, healing, and helping. https://t.co/hoGm1uSONE

Cannabis is legal in many places—but that doesn’t mean it’s harmless.

Poison control calls jumped from ~930 to 22,000+.
75% involve kids.
The real issue? Perception.

⚠️Public Health Alert: Officials are warning about 7-OH surfacing in vape shops and gas stations.

Stories change how people see addiction.

They turn stigma into understanding.

We’re bringing this message to schools + communities—but we need help reaching more.

Every presentation leaves me hopeful for what’s ahead.
