From her days of marching with MLK Jr., to raising kids as a single mom, and a long career serving in some of LA's toughest schools, Mama Hill (as she is endearingly called by her community) has a deep understanding of what urban youth need to succeed and thrive in and out of school. With a heart full of compassion both for the kids who have been gang victims as well as the ones perpetrating such violence, Mama Hill gracefully tackles the issues in her neighborhood with courage, determination and infinite love. { read more } Be The Change Find somebody in your local community who is helping transform the trajectory of young lives toward more positive horizons and offer them gratitude and support.
