Samie’s Story

This week's guest is Samie. Samie joins us today and shares her story about her sweet son, Drayke who took his own life earlier this year.

Drayke was only 12. He was getting bullied by another boy his age. Samie says that Drayke was compassionate, sweet, and funny. He actually tried to befriend the bully hoping that this boy just needed a friend. What an example of compassion Drayke was. Their family's world was shattered the moment Drayke was gone.

Samie and her husband have started a national campaign #bagsagainstbullies. She talks about what it's all about on this episode. You can also find out more information @ https://bagsagainstbullies.com/

Samie, thank you for sharing your story on our podcast. It was an honor to record with you. We hope we can do your story justice and make Drayke proud. 💛💙

Christa is our guest for this weeks episode. She share's her story of losing one of her older brother's to suicide, and going through such a traumatic event when she was only 15. Christa describes to us what life looked like for her and what mental changes she had to make for herself after her brother passed away. Losing a family member is so traumatic. Losing your big brother with whom you were very close with, when you are a sophomore in high school, adds another layer of trauma.

We hope you love this weeks episode.
