“Tens of thousands of Black girls and women go missing every year. Last year, that figure was nearly 100,000. Yet their cases hardly ever grab national headlines.” https://t.co/QAdtugC2fQ

I’m so excited to receive this press release regarding new initiatives in L.A. to combat violence against Black women & girls.
Also *very* humbled that #OurBlackGirls was even mentioned. Justice for our sisters.

The high rate of Black women who go missing is NOT reflected in the media. Thank you, @OurBlackGirls, for shining a spotlight on these missing queens. To bring them home or get them justice, we MUST continue to amplify THEIR stories. https://t.co/IY7nneiUAj

Tens of thousands of Black women go missing each year. @xiErikaMarie is telling their stories on @OurBlackGirls—roughly one every other day for the last three years. https://t.co/w1PH7G87dU

Thousands of Black girls and women go missing every year. Last year, that figure was nearly 100K.
Their cases hardly ever grab national headlines.
Read how @OurBlackGirls is working to change that narrative — helping them get the justice they deserve.https://t.co/3hj018xnoH
