Live for 175 Blog: A Powerful Message

The message "It shouldn't hurt to be a child" is one powerful message. According to Keke Luv, the reason this message is so powerful isn't that complicated.  "It's not talked about".

Childhood abuse affects almost everyone, but ninety percent of people wouldn't know that because people don't know how to talk about it. Live for 175 gives people an outlet to talk to someone. Keke said, "After doing this for seven years, people know about childhood abuse prevention because of the radio. When people talk about their experiences and support on air, other people start to realize they aren't alone."

Yesterday, I was doing the wave with the bikers helping them get excited about having sore butts, I hope. A women walked up to me and said, "Thank you for what you are all doing." She told me she was a foster parent and what we are doing has helped her kids and their family so much.

I gave her a hug and said, "Your kids are the heroes, but I'm glad I could help." In my mind, we are the cheerleaders to the team. The team of amazing strong powerful people who have been affected by childhood abuse or any type of abuse. They are the ones who deserve the credit not us. Thank you all for inspiring me!
