James Ross Hunter Youth Support Knife-crime 'Daisy Monument' Visual Awareness Tour
This was the beginning of a friendship that bonds the hearts and vision of two visionaries. Collet the mother of James Ross Hunter whose life was cut short to knifecrime saving another in his community in the year 2014. Collet was driven by force to make her vision of care a reality for her community, and now a meaningful endeavour embracing many hearts and homes throughout the UK.
The journey began two years ago when Carl Gabriel and Collet Hunter met at an exhibition at 'Azwala' in Brixton. As community advocacy for knife crime awareness and issues faced for the wellbeing of others affected by violence, Collet the founder of James Ross Hunter Youth Support saw an opportunity where a vision that taunts her can be made a reality of the pain and fears that filter out in ongoing conversations, thoughts and actions on what more can be done to sensitize and implement changes in our communities.
Her idea ( sketched on paper) and masterminded by Carl into an image that solidifies her concept of the recognition that she finds missing to bring the reality of pain associated with the loss of lives senselessly taken.
