The Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation held their yearly "B.I.G. Night Out" with this year honoring the mothers of rappers and vocalists who lost their son or daughter to violence or health. "Over the years, they've encountered one of the worst tragedies a mother can ever face, and I'm hoping not to put closure to their loss but just to share a little warmth with them," Voletta Wallace, founder of the CWMF, told the Associated Press."It is our way of saying, 'Keep your head up.' It's the foundation's way just to let these parents know that we love them." Some of the mothers honored at Tuesday's event included Afeni Shakur (mother of Tupac Shakur), Diane Haughton (mother of Aaliyah), Wanda Lopes (mother of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes), Gilda Terry (mother of Big L), Gail Tirado (mother of Big Pun), Herminia Rogers (mother of Freaky Tah) and Connie Mizell (mother of Jam Master Jay). Connie Mizell, mother of Jam Master Jay, says that she's been fine since her son's death. "I'm not having any problems coping; I'm a firm believer in Jesus Christ. I have been sad that he will never call me again, but I cannot say that it has deterred my life," she told the Associated Press. "I'm a firm believer that it was Jay's time."

MTV Films and AMARU Entertainment's "Tupac: Resurrection," directed by Lauren Lazin, will be previewed at the Sundance Film Festival on January 22, and is scheduled for theatrical release in the fall of 2003.
