The challenge is to think about the unchanging justice system that we provide. past.
Spoiler alert, nothing good comes of this. In fact, below we will briefly explain how harmful assault really is. Please note that protection for all women is definitely important. However, recent current events have proven the need to represent and advocate for Black women everywhere.
In the not-so-distant past of 2020, Breonna Taylor was 26 years old when she was unlawfully killed by a Louisville police officer in what appeared to be a drug investigation. While it is debatable whether the no-knock search warrant was legal, the non-threatening firing was what took the young woman’s life. According to ABC News and many other news outlets, on November 16, 2023, the judge in the case declared a mistrial because the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict. Three years later, the fight for justice continues.
As if abuse and assault from white police officers wasn’t bad enough, the honest truth is that black women face the same assaults from black men as well, just one One personal story just stays out of the limelight.

A search for her is currently ongoing. And this is just one of her many stories, known and unknown.
Kathy Ventura is an early 2000s singer and ex-girlfriend of Sean Combs, better known as P. Diddy. The two were together for over 10 years before breaking up in 2018.
