Angel Story: Tyesha

I’m telling my daughter story.Tyesha was a 21 yr old beautiful young woman full of life.She was a mother,daughter, sister,auntie,granddaughter,neice.I’m her voice because she was murdered by the father of her children on oct13, 2009.Tyesha was not afraid of her children’s father they argued a lot and she made plans to move from Georgia back to Kansas. He did mean things to Tyesha before trying to get her children taken from her to try to control her.He couldn’t control her because Tyesha was a very strong woman. She loved her family her friends.I have learned a lot about domestic violence since the murder of my daughter Tyesha. I speak about it and gun violence.
