Her vision for the organization was birthed from the Sandy Hook School Massacre in Newtown, Connecticut. She felt compelled to organize a dance troop, and she wrote a music album entitled Keeping Kids Safe. The organization was designed to advocate for children affected by violence and bullying. The Keeping Kids Safe in School dance troop has been featured on the front page of the Local/State Star newspaper, on WWAY TV 3 Extraordinary People Next Door, Azalea Festival parades, and the Brunswick Beacon, just to name a few. This book was created for the use of journaling, safety workshops, and dance therapy.
