February 14th 2018 is the day that everything changed for Aalayah Eastmond. Whilst in her Holocaust History class at High School (the now infamous Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida), what she first thought was a prank turned out to be her worst nightmare as a shooter had breached campus. Minutes after first hearing gunshots, her classroom became a target for the shooter. Within six minutes of hell, he had shot 34 people, killing 17.

Aalayah has turned her trauma into advocacy and activism, becoming a founding member of Team Enough, the youth-led gun violence prevention campaign, and she has testified multiple times to the US Congress on gun violence.

Daisy Maskell sits down with Aalayah Eastmond to hear about how her life changed on that day and the work that must be done to make 'never again' a reality.
