Personal Bio
Raymond Winans felt called to action after a 9-month-old baby was shot and killed in Detroit in February 2012. Violence had been in his family for three generations, and he was tired of suffering in silence. He quit his job and started volunteering with local organizations that focused on violence prevention. He has achieved more than he set out to do. Raymond was invited to the White House to receive the President’s Volunteer Service Award, and he also received the Willis Young Memorial Award from the National Network of Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Programs. Raymond’s work has been recognized in the Los Angeles Times, the Huffington Post, as well as local newspapers, and he earned a fellowship from Black Male Engagement (BMe). As a master trainer in adverse childhood experiences, he has directly served over 4,000 middle school and high school students as well as their parents. Raymond is a 2019 Echoing Green Fellow.
