From Devastation to Choosing Love with Scarlett Lewis of The Choose Love Movement

In this deeply moving and empowering replay event, Scarlett Lewis, mother of Jesse Lewis, one of the 20 first-grade children murdered in the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, shares her powerful journey from unimaginable loss to a life of forgiveness, purpose, and advocacy.

Through her raw and personal story, Scarlett introduces the audience to the life-changing moment that led her to Choose Love — not just as a healing path for herself, but as a movement that has impacted millions of children and adults worldwide.

Courage + Gratitude + Forgiveness + Compassion-in-Action

 Key themes include:

• Responding with love instead of hate

• The science of resilience through the Masgutova Method and neuro-sensory integration

• The founding of the global Choose Love Movement

• The power of forgiveness as a return to self

• The enduring partnership between Choose Love and the Masgutova Foundation

About the Speaker

Scarlett Lewis is the founder of the nonprofit Choose Love Movement, created in honor of her six-year-old son, Jesse, who was tragically killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012. In the days that followed, Scarlett discovered a message Jesse had written on the family’s chalkboard: “Nurturing, Healing, Love.” Though simple, those three words are part of the definition of compassion across all cultures and became the foundation of a powerful formula, courage + gratitude + forgiveness +compassion-in-action, which launched a movement now reaching millions around the world.

The Choose Love Movement offers free, comprehensive programs for schools, homes, and communities, teaching essential life skills such as emotional regulation, resilience, and connection. Scarlett is the author of Nurturing Healing Love and From Sandy Hook to the World, and other titles for kids. She has shared her story on international stages and in major media outlets. An award-winning Forbes 50 Over 50 honoree, Scarlett is a passionate advocate for creating safer, more loving communities—one thoughtful choice at a time.
