Participants and guests alike are focused on stimulating community engagement and elevating their consciousness over life’s others needs as they relate to sustainability,” states Shelby Stone, co-founder of S²wim 2022. “Last year Tyler Kobe Nichols, Sherma’s son, collapsed onto the sidewalk with multiple, unprovoked knife wounds and passed away soon after. With it, the twenty-one-year-old joined the ranks of children that are murdered by senseless violence in America. Sherma is a testament to all parents devoting their lives to positive change”.
