Erricka is co-founder of Baltimore Ceasefire , a group working to end murder and gun violence in Baltimore City.“I've had to buy 2 cars in 3 years ... and transmissions & other major stuff for each. And now, my current car is on its last leg ... I need to be able to get everywhere to do everything I do, but being scared every time I get in my car that THIS will be the day it breaks down… this kind of stress is sometimes debilitating.”Erricka travels a lot both night and day to uplift her beloved city, visiting schools, jails and community events bringing inspiration and a way forward. She also visits and offers blessings at the spaces where families have lost loved ones due to violence so that murder will not have the last say. She is a ceaselessly giving heart as a social activist, mother, grandmother and friend to everyone.Erricka also works for Community Mediation Maryland as its training director.
