Breonna Taylor,

Protected health and safety

Vanessa Guillen,
Protected way of life and prosperity 

“..to be a woman of color is to be a natural protector ... in a world where we are the last to be protected”

In a world where

Your missing and murdered go on milk cartons and make national headlines 

While our missing and murdered go on hand made flyers and facebook posts

In a world where 

You get search parties, trials, and justice

While we get ignored, left in cages, and ‘paid administrative leave’

In this world

Our pains have long gone unseen

 And our cries for help gone unheard

But “[black and] brown girls are not invisible”

“You see us, so hear us”
