Beauty For Ashes A Conversation with Adrien Vonyetta Watson

Adrien "Vonyetta" Watson has been a voice on the radio since she was 17 — Big DM, Hot 103.9, on-air in Charlotte, now touring with Core DJs and Shade 45. Her words have stopped strangers mid-crisis, twice, without her even knowing until they told her.Then on June 2, 2024, her son Julian — an innocent bystander — was killed by gunfire at a graduation celebration.Tonight, Vonyetta gets honest about the wrestle that followed. The anger. The doubt. And the scripture that carried her through — Isaiah 61:3, beauty for ashes.We talk about her nonprofit, Julian's Justice — real numbers, real impact: 31 long guns, 21 handguns, 3,000 rounds of ammunition surrendered off the streets. Her vision for a Justice Academy and the Pathfinders program. And what it means to hold the umbrella for someone else while you're still standing in your own rain."I'm not the mama you want to go toe-to-toe with."Still standing. Beauty for ashes.82 and 0. Walking with God we never lose.#82NoLive #Testimony #Faith #StillStanding #JuliansJustice
