“Mama… I can’t breathe,” were the dying words of George Floyd. This Saturday marks four years since his murder sparked the largest global protest. This Saturday at 7pm a candle light vigil will be held at the intersection where he took his last breath.

Police killings have increased each year since 2020 according to data by Mapping Police Violence. While we may have made progress in other areas since George Floyd’s murder the data shows Black people are still 2.9x more likely to be killed by police than white people in the U.S

Thank you for honoring me in this way and for giving me my flowers while I can still smell them—for making me part of the story we continue to write together. This is the Eastside, the neighborhood I grew up in. While they invest in Wall Street we will invest in these streets 💪🏽

For me, this boycott is personal. Target was once our biggest advertiser. That helped us launch Here’s the Truth, our 3x Emmy-winning TV show. So, when Target rolled back DEI Black-owned media companies like mine were hit hard. This is why I won’t shop Target on Black Friday.

As attacks on journalists rise here and around the world, protecting a free press is urgent. I’m proud that the Center for Broadcast Journalism and Power 104.7 donated $5,000 to our local NABJ chapter to support the next generation of Black journalists.
