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.
