March 16 (Thu.)

Speaker: Toy Burton, DeeDee's Cry Suicide Prevention and Family Support 

​

Bio: Toy Burton is the Founder and Executive Director of DeeDee's Cry Suicide Prevention and Family Support. DeeDee's Cry is named after her sister, Denita Shayne Morris (DeeDee), who died by suicide when she was twenty-three years old, in 1986.

 

Toy started DeeDee's Cry in 2017, after noticing the lack of racial equity and social justice regarding mental health education and suicide prevention in BIPOC communities. DeeDee's Cry creates space and events that elevate the conversation about mental health education and suicide prevention.

 

Toy Burton is also the Founder and Executive Director of the Roxbury Unity Parade. Toy started the Roxbury Unity Parade in 2018 after seeing other Boston neighborhoods have parades and celebrations for their community. Roxbury, once a predominately Black neighborhood in Boston, the parade celebrates Black culture, our contributions, and our excellence. The Roxbury Unity Parade recognizes people, organizations, and businesses that uplift Roxbury every day.
