You are not alone

As a working mom, creator of G.A.M.E. & Co-Founder of The Elijah-Alavi Foundation, I understand the complexity of life and how busy it can be. Elijah's Law, a recent bill in New York state, was passed last year in honor of my late son, Elijah-Alavi and working on new program, legislation and partnership, I did all of this while grieving even still in my current state of mind, I was able to tell myself to GET UP!

Embracing my mental pain and heartache was the most challenging thing I ever had to do. Still, I wanted to ensure that we are able to help every parent and children would be protected and that school workers or organizations would be educated on the severities of food allergies/asthma and implement actionable steps to creating a safe environment for infants and children.

I am happy to share that in the last three years, I’ve completed my graduate studies earning my Master's, in Special Education, and reconnected with my eldest son while homeschooling him. I also wrote a book called, “Good Mourning" and released a new single, “Get Up,” to motivate others who have also experienced grief and mental anguish.
