After losing her youngest son, Marquavies “Quay” Broughton, to nitazene poisoning, Frederica Roberson transformed her grief into a mission to save lives.
In this powerful episode of Conversations with Karen and Cat, Frederica shares Quay’s story and the mission behind the Marquavies Bernard Broughton Foundation. She discusses the growing dangers of nitazenes, fentanyl, and other synthetic opioids; the signs of an opioid overdose; and why access to naloxone (Narcan) and overdose prevention education can save lives.
This important conversation explores substance use, addiction, recovery, youth drug prevention, and the challenges families face when seeking help.
Through advocacy, education, and prevention, Frederica is keeping Quay’s legacy alive while helping families and communities better understand the overdose crisis.
