She also founded the annual “White Affair” event that honored local individuals who perished as a result of gun violence or sickness, and organized the “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child” event to honor all the seniors in the development by providing certificates labeled as Redfern Heroes. The 48-year-old mother of three passed away in March 2019.
