What a ride this is going to be! I’m amazed by the support and love shared during the “Traffic Stop: Human Division” launch party!
Thank you to all who helped set up and tear down the event. Its success was possible because of these key players’ efforts: John Cahill, Lisa Pererya-Molina, Leticia Montoya-Bonifas, Stevie Stallbaum, Wendy Hunt-Most, Ricardo Molina, Rex & Sheryl Hunt, Jaden & Nate Most. A special thanks goes to Dr. Bailey Koch and Jeremy Koch at Natural Escapes for providing the space and supporting this novel’s coming-out party. The surprise visit from my high school friend, Sheila Henry-Vester, blessed my heart.
We sold 50 books! These were all signed with a personalized note and encouragement that “To–get–her, we can end human suffering.”
We also received One Hundred Thirty One dollars from the raffle to support the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) in America. A cause now near and dear to my heart. Through my research on Human Trafficking and witnessing one Lakota Family’s loss, I now have first hand knowledge of the MMIP epidemic. We cannot talk about human trafficking without shining a light on the fact that of the millions of people in America who are Indigenous (Native) it has been reported that nearly 25% have experienced human trafficking and many are now numbered in the MMIP records. Those stats alone make me sick, but what causes me deep sadness about those numbers is the fact there are only an estimated seven million Indigenous people left in North America today. Before European contact, more than a hundred million people called this land home. We are committed to donating to the MMIP across the USA.
The winners of the books include:
Mateo Marino: A World of Gratitude by Clair Saunders
Becky Mustard: When the House Feels Sad – Helping you understand depression by Jeremy and Bailey Koch
Vicky Bliven: Never Alone by Jeremy & Bailey Koch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8PG9gl5Kew
