Nashville, Tenn. (WTVF) – Since the release of video showing the thrashing death of Tyra Nichols at the hands of the Memphis Police Department, many people have experienced a wide range of emotions. But what’s the best way to deal with them?

Sonya Thomas decided to offer a space to help moms in Nashville deal with the complicated emotions they may be feeling by creating a safe space for them.

“I just wanted to create a space for moms like me who just need love and sympathy and a place to cry,” Thomas said.

Instead of being weak together.

“I think I’ll see people who understand that we all need each other, especially in times like these,” Thomas said.

And because she knows she’s not alone in Nashville, Sonya says, she’s open to more conversations like this.

Thomas said, “Whatever people need, I’m up for it.”

Everything seems to be going well as a city and a nation.
