A TRIBUTE TO JAMIE REDFORD (1962 - 2020) FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO CHAPTER OF THE LINKS, INC.
The San Francisco Chapter of The Links, Incorporated (SF Links) is deeply saddened by the passing of Jamie Redford, who was among our most giving, compassionate, considerate, and benevolent partners. His commitment to working with our Chapter to help advance awareness and understanding of the link between toxic stress in children and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), was profound; and how the resulting triggers can alter brain development in children, and lead to lifelong health impacts such as heart disease, cancer, substance abuse, and depression.
On behalf of the San Francisco Chapter of Links, Inc., we extend our deepest condolences to Jamie Redford’s loving wife, children, and family members. We thank you for sharing Jamie with us, and for supporting all that he did to help us, and help others through his gift of documentary filmmaking. Our love and prayers are with you.
The San Francisco Chapter of The Links Inc is part of an international African American professional women's association linked in friendship and service. We have been serving our community since our founding 70 years ago—delivering on the promise and the mission of the Links organization—to enrich and sustain African American communities and people of African ancestry. www.sanfranciscolinks.org
