Loves Me, Loves Me Not

DAY 7: #DVAM2016
Earlier this week, Samyah Copeland, a 16 year old girl was shot to death in Riverdale, GA by her boyfriend. "The little young fellow took my daughter's life and his own life, that was her best friend," said Tuwanna Copeland. "He couldn't live without her, he didn't want no body else to live with her if he couldn't have her to himself." Our hope is that #FOD2016 will bring awareness and education; provide prevention and intervention resources, and support around the cause of domestic violence and teen dating violence prevention. All proceeds from the night will benefit the Loves Me Loves Me Not Teen Dating Prevention Program which will be hosted by 6 schools in February of 2017. Why?

• 1 in 3 teenage girls experience teen dating violence.
• 1 in 3 female homicide victims are murdered by their current or former partner every year
