Auntie Advocate: From Heartbreak to Hope on Narrativity with Dr. Antipas
Grief doesn't have an expiration date, and somebody needs to care for families, people who are in distress, and I see you out there doing it.
Imagine losing a loved one in a senseless act of violence and then channeling that grief into something profoundly positive. That's the journey of Auntie Advocate, who shares her powerful story on this episode of 'Narrativity with Dr. Antipas'. After the tragic killing of her only nephew, Xzavier Hill, by the Virginia State Police, Auntie Advocate was faced with unimaginable pain and anger. But instead of letting it consume her, she transformed her sorrow into a force for good.
She founded Auntie Advocate, a nonprofit organization dedicated to community advocacy, education, and support for families affected by violence. Through her nonprofit, she provides essential hygiene kits and honors those lost to violence, turning her personal tragedy into a beacon of hope for others. Her story is one of faith, resilience, and unwavering determination to make a difference. Tune in to hear how Auntie Advocate's journey of transformation can inspire you to find light in the darkest of times.
