The Royal Rose Foundation
Our Mission
Our Commitment to Overdose Prevention and Community
Founded in 2023, The Royal Rose Foundation is a Black- and woman-led organization rooted in overdose prevention and the belief that education and early intervention save lives. What began as a response to the growing impact of fentanyl and substance use in our communities has evolved into a broader, prevention-centered approach that reflects the realities people face every day.
Through our work, we recognize that overdose prevention does not exist in isolation. It is deeply connected to violence, systemic inequities, mental health, and barriers to accessing care and support. These challenges disproportionately impact marginalized communities, and our mission is grounded in addressing those intersections with intention, care, and consistency.

The Royal Rose Foundation is committed to creating brighter futures by connecting underserved individuals and communities with the resources, opportunities, and support they need to thrive.

Remembering Sheres Isom: A victim to fentanyl poisoning
About The Royal Rose Foundation
Our Story
Sheres, also known as "Royal Rose," was a beloved mother, sister, daughter, and caregiver whose life was tragically cut short by an unforeseen and preventable incident. Her passing was the result of a counterfeit drug, which led to her untimely death. Sheres’s loss has left a profound impact on her family, including her three young sons, a grandchild, and her eldest daughter, MJ Jackson.
In memory of her mother, MJ founded this organization with a mission to raise awareness about the dangers of counterfeit drugs and the fentanyl crisis. Our aim is to educate the community, promote prevention, and ultimately save lives. By uniting and taking action, we strive to make a positive difference and work towards a safer and healthier future for all.
