Affirm Black Women Portrait Series: Breonna Taylor

“What I like the most about myself is that I’m just me. Real pure ... genuine.” - Breonna Taylor⁣

⁣Today is Breonna Taylor’s 27th birthday. She should be here celebrating. Police violently ended her life on the night of March 13th in her own bed as she slept.⁣

⁣Breonna’s lifelong desire to care for people guided her to a career in healthcare as an EMT. She loved being with her family and bringing them together to celebrate birthdays, holidays, and to play card games like Skip-Bo. Her dreams included pursuing a degree in nursing, buying a home, and starting a family.⁣

Gather together in her name to demand justice.
