@sophiabush : As many of us throwback on Thursdays, I think it’s important to use the trend to also take pause. To remember. To not let our less than sunshine-filled memories fade. To honor those who we must fight for, even after we’ve lost them. 10 days ago I wrote at length about #NiaWilson. About double standards. And about racism. And I will continue to #SayHerName. I will continue to do my best to ally. I will continue to stand for all of my sisters affected by violence, and acknowledge those who are affected disproportionately. My friends @ohyeswewill nailed it, and said exactly what I woke up feeling today. So I’ll #repost their words for you now... ・・・ The death of Nia Wilson has affected all of us. We can't stop thinking about her—the violent and unjust way she was murdered, the words her sister Letifah Wilson said to her before she passed on a BART platform in Oakland ("We're gonna get through this. I got you, you're my baby sister,"), and her young life and immense future taken senselessly. We, as women, need to stand up and acknowledge this tragic event and call attention to it. We need to talk about it LOUDLY. Do you have something to say? Are you angry, scared, devastated, and wanting to stand up against misogyny and more specifically racial misogyny? VOICE IT. Start by reading @mspackyetti's informative, call-for-action article for @thecut, #SpendYourPrivilege . Per a study done by Washington University last year, black women are more likely than any other demographic to have been unarmed when killed by police officers. Per the C.D.C., black women die by homicide at nearly three times the rate that white women do. All of us have experienced fear as women—but ask yourself, if you are white, have you ever put yourself in the shoes of someone of color? That fear is amplified. We need to #SayHerName over and over again. We need to stand up together in all of our communities and put an end to racial misogyny and the brutality against women. To quote Brittany Packnett f
