We support this foundation because of the service they
provide to the families of missing African Americans. While watching The View this morning, we first
learned of this remarkable non-profit organization. Last week Friday, a family
pleaded with America on the show, to assist in finding their daughter who was
missing for five and a half months. Within fifteen minutes, the Co-founder of
this group was contacted anonymously on the whereabouts of this missing child.
The family was reunited with their daughter within twenty-fours. This story
gives us hope and it reminds us that prayers are answered. Within the last
couple weeks, many kids have looked evil dead in the face. However, there are
so many resources in place to help reduce the number of kidnapped/missing
people. Letting us know that Goodness prevails. A nine-year old girl was able to escape her kidnapper and call
the police and a seven year old girl fights her kidnapper at an Atlanta Wal-Mart.
This is GREAT news.
SSE, Inc. will do our part by tweeting about the cases and informing our audience of the issues that plague our world.

Message from President/CEO (Derrica Wilson)
"For many years, the minority community has been a severely underserved
portion of the population in the media mainstream when it comes to missing
persons. BAM's mission is to ensure that missing persons of color receive the
exposure needed to be reunited with their loved ones. We are dedicated to
getting these cases to the media mainstream by "BECOMING THE VOICE FOR THE
MISSING!"
