The loss of a sibling to gun violence is a profound and life-altering experience that can ignite a powerful desire to make a positive change in the world. For me, the devastating loss of a younger sibling sparked a deep sense of purpose and a fervent determination to prevent others from experiencing similar pain and tragedy.

​

Witnessing firsthand the impact of gun violence on my family and community, I felt compelled to turn my grief into action. The loss of my sibling served as a wake-up call, prompting me to recognize the urgent need for intervention and support for youth who are at risk of falling victim to the same cycle of violence.

​

Driven by a desire to honor my younger brothers memory and ensure that his life was not lost in vain, I made a commitment to give back to the urban and inner city communities and empower young people to break free from the grips of violence.

 

Through mentorship, education, and advocacy, I strive to provide youth with the resources, guidance, and opportunities they need to thrive and make positive choices.

​

My sibling's untimely death has fueled my passion for creating meaningful change and has inspired me to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the cause of promoting peace and safety for all. In their memory, I am determined to be a beacon of hope and support for youth, ensuring that their futures are filled with promise, not tragedy.

​

Our mission extends beyond sports development, music, and mentorship to actively address the root causes of violence and provide support to those affected. Through targeted programs and initiatives, we aim to prevent gun violence by offering resources and educational opportunities that empower individuals to make positive choices and resolve conflicts peacefully.

​

By fostering a supportive environment and equipping individuals with the tools and skills needed to navigate challenging circumstances, we strive to break the cycle of violence and create safer, more resilient communities for everyone. Together, we can make a difference and build a future where every individual has the opportunity to thrive free from the threat of gun violence.

At Push The Peace, our mission is deeply rooted in the memory and spirit of my late little brother Donta Wesley Scriber, who was taken from us far too soon as a victim of gun violence. His tragic loss serves as an enduring reminder of the urgent need for change in our communities. With heavy hearts but unwavering determination, we dedicate our non-profit organization to his memory and the countless other young lives lost to senseless acts of violence.
