The toddler was tragically killed on her birthday by a stray bullet from gang-related gun fire. Tinsley felt compelled to create a real life super hero who could serve as a role model for school age children in underserved communities while addressing issues that specifically affected them. Using his own money and resources he created DangerMan, the Urban Super Hero.<\/p>\n As a \u2018real\u00a0life\u2019 urban superhero, DangerMan is an advocate for children\u2019s rights promoting literacy, safety and good health. He wages against bullying and also fights human trafficking. DangerMan visits schools and community events encouraging his audience with a motto of \u201cNo gangs, guns, drugs, alcohol or tobacco.\u201d<\/p>\n He has traveled throughout America and Haiti, empowering children to live their best life. \u201cProtect, Promote and Provide\u201d are the pillars DangerMan lives by. DangerMan has steadily evolved into the fastest growing super hero brand in the world and will celebrate a 20-year anniversary in 2018.<\/p>\n For sponsorship information and to vote for this year\u2019s nominees for the DangerMan Hero Awards Show go to: http:\/\/dangermanheroawards.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
