i LOVE everything about being BLACK
ONE DAY CHALLENGE
ONE DAY AT A TIME
Hey ya’ll, I am heartbroken, I know we are sick and tired of seeing and hearing our black family members being shot down, especially in the back. We are talking about men who have served our country and women who served our communities. People who are out minding their business and have done nothing wrong, yet they do not make it back home. Everyone should be outraged and know that I am outraged as well. I am at a loss for words and my heart bleeds for this. I am mad as hell and I just do not understand with so much going on in the world, why is there so much hatred? We must show LOVE!
I want to give my condolences to all families and our hearts are heavy. Even as we put this page together, I said I do not want to add another name to this list, and just like that “BREAKING NEWS” …another brother slain, Daunte D. Wright. Say his name, DAUNTE WRIGHT.
I am tired of saying names. I am tired of the brutality.
I. AM. TIRED.
My beautiful, beautiful black community we must find a way to come together. We must find a way to stop this brutality from the people in blue. I LOVE YOU and I want us to be ok. Peace.
WE ARE IN CRISIS
Every C.R.I.S.I.S. needs a plan and here is ours.
The greatest weapon we have against hatred is LOVE.
Remember to LOVE YOURSELF!
SAY THEIR NAMES
This list is far too long and as a mother, I WEPT.
But today I STAND.
I BREATHE for each of them.
