This Sunday on MHP, it’s about the mothers.
In Cleveland, Samaria Rice mourns her son Tamir, who was shot and killed by a police officer almost six months ago. 12-year-old Tamir’s death caught the attention of the nation, but despite the protests and outrage, Samaria has yet to bury her son because of the dragging criminal investigation into his death. Samaria asked the authorities this week to finally resolve the case. “In less than a second my son is gone,” Samaria said. “And I want to know how long I’ve got to wait for justice.”
In Jacksonville, Angie Nixon saw that her daughter Natalie wasn’t fond of reading or her natural hair, and decided to do something about it. Angie and Natalie joined forces and “The Adventures of Moxie Girl” was born. The titular heroine, with the help of her grandma’s special shampoo, fights monsters who are out to destroy the public library. The comic won more than $16,000 at One Spark, the world’s largest crowdfunding festival, and will be published in June.
And in Hollywood, Actress Sofia Vergara is in a legal battle with her ex-fiance Nick Loeb over their frozen embryos. In his New York Times Op-Ed, Loeb argued that he should have the right to raise the embryos on his own, despite the fact the he and Vergara had a contract specifying that both of them had to agree to the embryos’ use. Vergara, who already has a grown son, is forced to publically defend her choice to not be a biological mother a second time over.
