One of NAASCA's newest family members, Terrance Tykeem, has worn many hats as an adult .. professional athlete, singer / songwriter, author, and philanthropist. But his most recent role, that of a feature film producer, propels him forward into the ranks of those most devoted to addressing the pandemic of child abuse.
First molested at ten, Terrance grew up in foster care in Atlanta and Philadelphia as an angry troubled child.
His star-studded film "Touched" is based on the novel of the same name, and details how child sexual abuse not only affects the victim but the entire family system .. parents, siblings, friends of the family. There's also a music video and song of the same name.

Terrance pulls from his own youthful experiences of witnessing first hand the sexual advances on younger and weaker children. "Touched" features Tony Sirico, Stephen Baldwin, Mackenzie Phillips, Jaclyn Betham and many many others. The objective is to bring awareness to the International pandemic of childhood sexual abuse.
