As Jamie's mother and advocate, Breanna personally experienced the pain and emotional trauma that has been subjected to her daughter. This horrific experience has shown her the immediate life changing impact it can have by nearly psychologically paralyzing an innocent life. The gift of time allowed the healing process to begin. Time eventually gave us the courage and voice to reach out and educate society. This painful violation has to cease in Corporate America and abroad.

RICHARD A. GUTIERREZ
Events Director
richard@thejlfoundation.org
Growing up in one of the most culturally-diversified cities in the world, I have proudly attended every cultural event that Jersey City, New Jersey, had to offer all-year round. Interacting and understanding that we are all different, yet similar in many ways, I have immensely enjoyed surrounding myself in the positivity that events and festivities provide.
Whether hosting parties, organizing artist receptions at local art galleries or holding a candlelight vigil at the steps of the Newark Diocese shedding light on the sexual abuse of victims by Catholic Priests, there is something magical, surreal and fulfilling in bringing people together in celebrating life, death, rebirths and transformations.
Inspired by the commonalities of unity, I hope to bring the everlasting impression of that concept that there is a bigger cause and meaning through which we embark life's pursuits. Life is an event; direct yours.
