Florida Matters Preview: Surviving Gun Violence

Marsha Halper
Myya Passmore, a Miami entrepreneur and CEO of M.A.R.S. Marketing firm, was 16 when she was shot in the chest.

You'll often hear the news of young people tragically dying from gun violence. But what about those who live?

This week on Florida Matters we're listening to excerpts of the series Young Survivors: The Unspoken Trauma of Gun Violence from WLRN in Miami. It explores what happens to kids and teens who survive gun violence.

In this preview, Florida Matters host Robin Sussingham talks with reporter Nadege Green about the series.

I cover health care for WUSF and the statewide journalism collaborative Health News Florida. I’m passionate about highlighting community efforts to improve the quality of care in our state and make it more accessible to all Floridians. I’m also committed to holding those in power accountable when they fail to prioritize the health needs of the people they serve.
Robin Sussingham was Senior Editor at WUSF until September 2020.
