And baby makes three! Due June 2021... the best thing to happen to me in 2020. After having survived Covid, being pregnant is a real miracle.

Do you remember, 21st night of September?

...

As we danced in the night

Remember

How the stars stole the night away

Now December

Found the love we shared in September

Only blue talk and love

Remember

This is Breonna Taylor. I hope you don’t need me to tell you her name.

I originally drew this portrait for the “Birthday for Breonna” project. Started by someone on social media and I believe it was endorsed by her family. It was intended to flood the internet and KY legislature with a reminder of her birthday, June 5. To move the hearts of those in power to pursue justice for Breonna.

Today, my heart is heavy. One of the police officers that fired on her was charged, not with anything relating to her, but with “wanton endangerment”, meaning that he endangered her neighbors while firing into Breonna’s apartment, cutting short her precious life.

What does it say about a government that would rather give her family $12M in settlement and prepare for possible violent protest, rather than say to the world, every citizen is afforded equal protection under the law? The fact that they’re preparing for riots tells me that they know deep down inside that their decision is wrong. I don’t blame her family for taking the settlement, but I know from personal experience the feeling of, no amount of money will bring your loved one back.

Breonna Taylor is our sister. Our friend. She could be any one of us.

If everybody played like Kobe, if everybody worked like Kobe, everybody would be great. It is that simple. It is also humanly impossible.
