💜🎉 ONE YEAR OF PURPOSE. ONE YEAR OF IMPACT. ONE LEGACY THAT WILL LIVE FOREVER. 💜
October 14, 2025 – October 14, 2026
One year ago today, The Marquavies Bernard Broughton Foundation, Inc. officially received its 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.
What began as a mother's unimaginable heartbreak has become a movement of hope, prevention, education, advocacy, and LIVES BEING SAVED.
On April 1, 2025, I lost my son, Marquavies “Qua” Broughton, to nitazene poisoning. I never imagined that the most painful day of my life would become the beginning of a mission so much bigger than me.
But I made a promise that my son's name would not be remembered only for how he died, but for the lives that would be saved because he lived. 💜
LOOK WHAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED IN ONE YEAR!

Through our DaQuaWay Initiative, we continue to:
EDUCATE • EQUIP • PREVENT • RESPOND • CONNECT • SAVE LIVES
To every board member, volunteer, sponsor, donor, community partner, organization, family member, and person who has supported this mission — THANK YOU!
You believed in a grieving mother's vision. You stood beside me when the journey wasn't easy. And you helped turn a promise into purpose.
We are not just building a foundation. We are building a legacy.
And to my baby boy, Qua… 💜
Mommy is keeping her promise. Your name is being spoken in places we've never been. Your story is opening eyes, changing conversations, and helping people recognize the dangers that took you from us.
I wish more than anything that you were here to see it.
But until I see you again, I will keep going. I will keep fighting. I will keep educating. And I will keep saying your name.
ONE YEAR DOWN. A LIFETIME OF PURPOSE TO GO.
💜 BECAUSE OF QUA, LIVES WILL BE SAVED. 💜
