Today was a good day

Many of you have asked me about the status of my 17yr old brother-in-law who was shot a couple of months ago. First of all let me say thank you so much for your concern and support; it really does mean a lot to me.

As for my brother-in-law, after 60+ days in the ICU, we just received the wonderful news that he will be moved to a "step-down" care facility this week. His road to recovery will still be long and difficult but this is a fantastic first step.

The title of this blog is AKA Activist, yet I feel like I haven't been one lately. I guess I'm still trying to figure out what I can do to reduce gun violence in my city. Over the last two months, I've witnessed a number of other young men become victims of gun violence. This dangerous trend needs to stop. I'm thinking of developing a number of PSA's (I'm an interactive designer) but maybe there are better ideas. If you have any, please feel free to share them here.

Again, thank you for your support.
