If there is one person who has sustained Sybrina Fulton through her son Trayvon Martin’s death, it has, without question, been Jesus Christ. Tragedy tends to have a polarizing effect on a person’s faith–people often run from God or cling to God when their worlds shatter–and Fulton has used her undesired position in the public spotlight to witness to the God she serves. Her Christian testimony started before George Zimmerman was even arrested. Last March she turned Travyon’s hoodie, a sign of protest, into a spiritual symbol. “He’s in heaven with God–and he has on a hoodie. He has on a heavenly hoodie,” she told TIME. That was just the beginning.
