Reverend Sharon Washington Risher was catapulted into the limelight after the Charleston, South Carolina shooting at the Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church on June 17, 2015. Her beloved mother Ethel Lee Lance was killed along with eight others, including two cousins and a childhood friend. Risher shares her incredibly raw personal experience of losing loved ones to gun violence, race, racism and hate in America, as well as the path to forgiveness and an offering of hope for tomorrow. The title of her presentation is “Tattered Pieces: A Charleston Daughter Explores Loss, Faith and Forgiveness.”
