In 1997, tragedy struck my family when my father, a courageous man, was killed in the streets of Jackson, Mississippi while defending my mother's honor. His life was senselessly taken, and the justice system failed him by allowing the perpetrator to go free, devaluing my father's life and ruling his murder as justified. This traumatic event changed my life as an innocent, brown-skinned girl, and its impact will be with me forever.
