Day 1 Recap of the Violence Intervention Summit What an incredible first day! We kicked things off with Pastor Shirley Lyle from Macedonia hyping up our students, followed by @kingdm_kidd of @Back2Purpose leading powerful positive affirmations with the youth. @yusefsheltondafirst rocked the stage, and we had a lively dance competition that got everyone moving! Our inspiring guest speakers included Pittsburgh’s Mayor Ed Gainey and Newark’s Deputy Mayor LaKeesha Eure, who shared impactful insights on violence prevention initiatives, including reallocating 5% of the police budget to provide employment opportunities for young people. Newark’s “1Hood” initiative was also highlighted, showcasing the power of community collaboration. Dr. Allison Culyba from Pitt, Umme Beasley from Rutgers University, and Marlo Thomas delivered meaningful messages, while breakout sessions with NJ organizations like Sharpen Mindz and New Directions 360 provided valuable insights. Chef Keith emphasized the importance of “Generational Health” through healthy eating. We wrapped up this amazing day on the Gateway Clipper, feeling inspired and united in our mission to make a difference. Stay tuned for more updates! #ViolenceIntervention #CommunityEngagement #youthempowerment
