Your Life Matters!

It's been nearly two years since 10-year old Isabella "Izzy" Tichenor committed suicide after an unrelenting battle with bullying and harassment.

After her death, Izzy's mother vowed "to make Izzy’s life matter by speaking out about bullying, racism and the importance of understanding autism so that no other parent has to suffer like she has." - WGNTV/AP News

It is our hope that Izzy's mother receives the platform she needs to defend the lives of chidren that are bullied.

If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide, please know that YOUR LIFE MATTERS and help is just a phone call or text away. To get help, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). There is also a crisis text line at 741741. For crisis support in Spanish, call 1-888-628-9454.

The Look of Love Niya ParksComment

"Kamala D. Harris is the Vice President of the United States of America. She was elected Vice President after a lifetime of public service, having been elected District Attorney of San Francisco, California Attorney General, and United States Senator.

As Vice President, Kamala Harris has worked in partnership with President Joe Biden to get America vaccinated, rebuild our economy, reduce child poverty, and pass an infrastructure law that will lift up communities that have been left behind. She has led the Administration’s efforts in rallying broad coalitions to protect the freedom to vote, expand workers’ rights to organize and collectively bargain, and stand up for women’s rights — supporting women in our workforce, addressing the maternal health crisis, and defending reproductive rights. The Vice President has also played a key role in engaging world leaders and strengthening our nation’s alliances and partnerships. In everything she does, she remains focused on the people of our nation—and our collective future."

In honor of Black History Month, we proudly celebrate our nation's first African American and female Vice President!
