Honoring these QUEENS who should STILL be here 🙏🏽💕😢

In the last 30 days, far too many Black women have been taken from us—by husbands, by exes, by sons. And these are just some. Can you imagine the amount of others?

And while headlines and their abusers reduce them to victims… we refuse to let their stories end there.

They were sisters. Pet lovers. Leaders. Friends. Dreamers. Women building lives, loving deeply, and showing up for their communities every single day.

They were more than what was done to them.

This is a reminder—and a call:
To protect Black women.
To believe Black women.
To check on Black women.
To create spaces where we can live fully, safely, and without fear.

We say their names. We honor their lives. And we demand better.
