A Brooklyn nurse recently
launched a foundation in her
late mother’s honor to raise
awareness and support for
young women pursuing social
work.
Registered nurse Keanna
Hinds, created the Toni Rose
Foundation to commemorate
her mother Antonia Rose,
affectionately known as Toni
— a retired and dedicated East
Flatbush social worker who was
murdered in the Caribbean last
June. Her devoted daughter
wants to celebrate her mother’s
life’s work by assisting others
on similar pathways to success
like her mother.
“My mom was a hard-working
Caribbean woman from
Brooklyn who serviced and
helped all types of New Yorkers,”
said Hinds. “This foundation
will be using all available
sociological and resources to
promote family unity, reducing
conflict, and provide overall
services for the wellbeing
of family.”
The foundation will serve as
a resource center that career
builders of Caribbean descent
can turn to for guidance and
advice.
“I would like the foundation
to assist Caribbean women
looking to advance their careers
in this country, and stress the
fact even someone from the
most rural part of the Caribbean
can come here and succeed
if they have the right tools
and support,” said Hinds.
Both Hinds and her late
mother worked jobs where they
provided care, which Hinds said
was rewarding.
“I kind of fell into the same
career path as my mom,” said
Hinds. “When I began working,
I would talk about my patients
and she would talk about hers
— and it was a great feeling to
see how we worked in different
fields but sort of ended up in
the same path.”
Last year, Hinds’ 69-yearold
mother left Brooklyn for
her native St. Vincent and the
Grenadines to attend a close
relative’s funeral. She was
later found brutally murdered
at her family’s home. Local
law enforcement on the multiisland
Caribbean country are
still investigating, but have not
arrested any suspects, according
to Hinds. She also said
her mother’s suspicious and
unsolved death has pushed her
to share the story in the hope
she can find more answers and
honor her life.
“My mother was an amazing
person, she had a lot to offer
and I don’t want her death to
go in vain,” she said.
Hinds remains in contact
with Vincentian government
officials and local elected leaders
in New York, to continue
ongoing search for her mother’s
killer. Earlier this month ,
she held a private auction and
fundraiser for the foundation.
Rose was a retired social
worker when she was found
murdered in her native St.
Vincent and the Grenadines
visiting family last June.
Her murder is still unsolved.
