Jackson’s daughter, 14-year-old Abre’Bre’anna, was lying in bed when someone driving by fired shots into their home, one of those bullets hit her in the head.Latonya Williams’ healing journey started a decade ago, her daughter Lataevia was killed by a stray bullet while she was out celebrating her 14th birthday.
“I didn’t lose my mind, but I was in a deep depression,” Williams explained. “I haven’t worked since then because of my depression, I couldn’t stop throwing up.”“I have flashbacks,” said Jackson. “Whenever they shoot outside my kids run in my room, we still are going through a lot.” Jackson is talking about Brenda Glass, owner of Brenda Glass Trauma and Recovery Center. Additionally, this is the only black-owned trauma center in Ohio according to Glass.
Glass said a big reason for that some Black people don’t seek out mental health is because they feel like they can't find someone who understands their background or someone they can relate to.
