SAY HER NAME

A very angry, emotional, factual and tardy episode recorded over the anniversary of Breonna Taylors murder. I learned so much during this research that I am absolutely floored that these officers walk free today. Every system in place failed, yet again.  I have a ton of resources to add, but for now, here is the show. 

Lovely Taylor is a mom, wife, therapist, daughter and amazing friend. Come have this talk with us as we dive deep into intergenerational trauma and healing. 

Aiyana Stanley Jones was just seven years old when she was killed by a police officer in a botched raid. I wanted to tell her story but it really is the story of so many people.  SHOW NOTES: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2010/09/aiyana-stanley-jones-detroit/ https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2015/01/28/timeline-weekley-case/22497475 https://www.poormagazine.org/node/3890 THE JUDGES: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/12/07/when-judges-need-disciplining/20053455/ MACK ALIVE: https://www.mackisalive.org/about-us

One summer day,  28-yr old Sandra Bland was pulled over by a police officer. Their interaction escalated both on camera and off. Sandra was arrested and three days later Sandra was dead. Her death set off a nationwide firestorm reigniting long standing distrust of law-enforcement and raising questions around what led to her death. Listen in while I introduce you to Sandy, break down the what had happeneds, and weigh in on both the fact and fiction of this tragic loss. Click here to see some of our sources: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-sandra-bland-trooper-encinia-20150810-story.html%3f_amp=true https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/amp/Four-years-later-Sandra-Bland-s-death-casts-14083657.php https://www.npr.org/2019/05/10/722030176/39-second-video-revives-calls-for-new-inquiry-into-sandra-blands-death https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/05/07/open-up-case-period-sandra-blands-family-demands-answers-over-new-video-her-arrest/%3foutputType=amp. https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/dahleen-glanton/ct-met-dahleen-glanton-sandra-bland-cellphone-video-20190510-story.html?outputType=amp. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc7chicago.com/amp/sandra-bland-video-traffic-stop-brian-encinia/7465372
