Royal Rose: A Daughter Loses her Mom to Fentanyl Overdose and Becomes an Advocate

In this emotional interview on the Kids of Overdose podcast, Candice speaks with MJ Jackson, who recounts the tragic loss of her mother to a fentanyl overdose. MJ candidly shares her grief journey, the impact of stigma, and the struggles faced by black and brown communities in accessing resources. Inspired to prevent similar fates for others, MJ founded the Royal Rose Foundation, an organization dedicated to overdose awareness and education. The foundation provides free Narcan and training on how to respond to overdoses. MJ expresses the continuous, fluctuating nature of her grief and emphasizes the importance of community support and breaking the silence around overdose deaths. The podcast concludes with a call to action for more awareness and support in combating the overdose crisis, especially in marginalized communities.
