I was selected and honored to share my story with Vogue for Gun Safety; which is a series about gun violence in the United States, with a new essay appearing each day until National Gun Violence Awareness Day, on June 2.
Talking about losing Benjamin is very hard, but I want to put a face on this epidemic that has taken over our communities, help prevent another parent the pain of losing a child to senseless gun violence and save a life.

Glenda,
Such a moving story of your struggle to cope with your beloved son’s death. It captures the essence of your relationship with Benjamin and the heartbreak of losing someone so young.
God bless you for using this tragedy for the benefit of other young men so that they can emerge from the plague of gun violence that is so pervasive in our communities.
I’ve known you as a talented nurse, leader and caregiver, but I think this project will end up being your most meaningful and inspiring work.
With best wishes for much success..
Thank you, Mrs. Rosenberg
