My Brother's Keeper 617

It took us a year but with the help of friends, we finally raised the money to get this mother and son a tombstone. It took persistence to see it thru and with the help from Stephanie at the Louis D Brown Peace Institute. This is not something we do on a regular basis but this was personal. We believe everyone should be buried with dignity. R.I.P Andronique (Wavy). We love and miss you lil brotha.

For years, our CEO Mario has worked directly with youth and adults navigating the court system — helping them understand their options, connect to resources, and move forward with their lives. Now he’s bringing that knowledge to the community.

In this episode of Family Tree TV, Mario breaks down the difference between sealed, vacated, and expunged records so more people can understand their rights and opportunities.
