Episode 38: Clementina Chery Tells Us The Truth

The guilty verdict for former Officer Derrick Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd should have been a moment when The United States finally turned the corner on senseless murders yet unfortunately that has not been the case. More people, especially Black and Brown people, have been murdered by community neighbors and in some instances Law Enforcement all over the Nation since the verdict. What happens in the aftermath of a murder to the family of the victims of violence? Who helps them pick up the pieces and what sort of services do they require?

Louis D Brown Peace Institute Co-Founder and CEO Clementina Chery is here to provide answers to those questions and much more. Listen as Clementina details how the murder of her 15 year old son, Louis D Brown, set her on a path to take the trauma she and her family experienced and direct it toward providing help to other families going through the same thing. Clementina details how the Peace Institute has provided training to Law Enforcement and Service Providers all over the Nation regarding how to interact with and help the Survivors aka Families of Victims of Violence. Clementina also details the Mother's Day Walk For Peace; a 25+ year community event that families from around the world continue to participate in.
