From Pain to Purpose
Our mission is to prevent street violence by fostering peace, compassion, and community empowerment. We are committed to transforming pain into purpose by promoting unity, healing, and lasting change for future generations.
Through Long Live King Kobe, we reach into the community to connect with young men in the streets—to show them there is another way, that their lives matter, and that they are deeply loved. We want to speak to them in their schools, in their homes, and eventually in our own community center—a safe haven for families impacted by violence. A place for healing, support, and transformation through one-on-one and group sessions.
Long Live King Kobe is committed to helping young men not just with love, but with truth: that acts of violence destroy lives and families for generations—just as four generations of my family have been forever changed by the loss of Tyler.
But from that pain, we choose purpose. And through that purpose, we honor Tyler’s life every single day.
