Siren's ringin'
Voices shoutin'
Bloods' ah spillin'

The protests and battles of young people and many African Americans versus the system within America were HEAVIL prevalent in the Spring of 2020. Why did we have to witness George Floyd's death after the buildup of a brutal attack on Breonna Taylor just 73 DAYS earlier?

When will the injustice end? When will history stop repeatin' itself

Young people took to the streets to make their voices known, their frustration heard, and their motives CLEAR

It should be EVIDENT that the Black Lives Matter movement is
not just about defunding the police but also about disrupting state-sanctioned violence against Black people and bringing
JUSTICE to the victims' families, friends, and loved ones!

  • BE CLEAR when going over the injustice that Black and Brown people face in America and how we are striving to end this
    inequity TODAY
  • BE UNDERSTANDING and know the wealth and power of our history and how it continues to follow us into the future
  • BE FEARLESS when standing for a message you know affects your friends and family in hard times
  • BE BOLD against those who are unfair in our justice system
  • BE RESISTANT to those who use their privilege to diminish the livelihoods of Black and Brown people, as the end goal should be for us ALL to strive for unity and peace within America

Enough IS Enough
Sincerely,
A Tired Black Woman
