Profile #2: Scarlett Lewis - Losing my 6 year old at Sandy Hook Elementary


Listen Later

Our guest today is Scarlett Lewis.  

Scarlett lost her beautiful son Jesse on December 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary. Jesse died bravely trying to lead others to safety. He shouted to his classmates to run on that fateful day and was able to save 9 lives before losing his own. He was 6 years old. Jesse was full of light and love. He brought joy to the world with his radiant smile and was compassionate beyond his years, leaving the words "nurturing, healing and love" written on a chalkboard at home for Scarlett to find after the tragedy. 

Scarlett is honoring Jesse’s beautiful life by founding the nonprofit Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement. She is a passionate advocate for social and emotional learning that teaches children how to manage their emotions, feel connected, and have healthy relationships.
