A Daddy-Daughter Dance, A Celebration, and Two Families Who Refused to Wait for Help To Arrive

A Daddy-Daughter Dance, A Celebration, and Two Families Who Refused to Wait for Help To Arrive

According to The Murder Accountability Project, Danville has had⁠ 39 homicides between 2018 and 2024⁠, and only one of those was solved. While the family of one victim still waits for justice, they have started a foundation in their daughter's name.

On this episode of Get With The Times, Kaighla sits down with two families who have spent the last year building what their community needed while fighting to be heard by the people elected to help them.

Phillip and Yolanda Davis lost their daughter Aniyah to gun violence in Winter Park in June 2025. Instead of waiting for justice that hasn't come, they built the Aniyah Davis Foundation — and they're hosting a Banquet and Daddy-Daughter Dance on April 3rd in her honor.

Michael and Catherine Ewing have kept Danville Rescue open for a full year through sheer determination. To mark one year of keeping the doors open, the Ewings are hosting a celebration on April 11th.

Both families join Kaighla to talk about what they've learned and what they still need from their elected officials and their community.

Two events. Two families worth showing up for. Links in the show notes: https://vermiliontimes.com/get-with-the-times/
