SPRING HILL, Fla. - s4story -- In a multimedia stage presentation, Roslyn recounted the remarkable story of how continents apart, her parents experienced and witnessed the worst of humanity first-hand and then met in the most extraordinary of circumstances to find everlasting love and live their life to the fullest to triumph over tragedy. After her presentation, Roslyn took questions and comments from the students followed by a book signing.

With rising hate crimes and school shootings in America, Roslyn's inspirational message of hope and harmony over hate and triumph over tragedy needs to be heard by young people, now more than ever. Roslyn's 2018 presentation in Parkland, Florida for the class that was shot into by the gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School launched her School Speaking tour.

Roslyn's parents' story is about survival and strength of the human spirit in the face of hate and hardship. It's an important story for students to hear because as Roslyn says, "For many students today, just getting through a typical school day is a matter of survival." Faced with bullying, prejudice and discrimination for any multitude of reasons such as one's appearance, ethnic group, race, religion, or anything else that differentiates one student from the others, many students live with fear and alienation on a daily basis. By telling students about what happened to her parents in the past, Roslyn hopes students will better take to heart the dangers of today's rising prejudice and discrimination and what this kind of hate and evil can lead to if we don't stop it.
