Gala

Founder of Mothers of Murdered Angels (MOMA), Melinda Hamilton is bringing healing to young hearts through her new children’s book The Butterfly From Heaven. Inspired by love, loss, and faith, the story helps children understand grief while discovering hope. Celebrate Women’s Herstory Month with Melinda at her special book signing event at The Dock Bookshop in Fort Worth.

Excerpt: In April and May 2025, Mothers of Murdered Angels (MOMA) brought the community together through two powerful events—the MOMA Awards Gala and the A.M. Pate Essay Contest. From honoring community leaders and survivors to uplifting the voices of 3rd–5th graders speaking out against bullying, these events showcased MOMA’s mission in action: turning pain into purpose and empowering change across generations. 💜
