#BlackLivesMatter
Kylie Jenner has shared her fears for her daughter Stormi Webster, whilst paying tribute to George Floyd, an African-American man who was tragically killed by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25.
The now ex-police officer, Derek Chauvin, has been charged him with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. There are now protests taking place all over the USA and beyond in solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter movement and standing against brutality.
Jenner, 22, took to Instagram to share her despair at watching the “devastating and completely heartbreaking video showing the murder of George Floyd”.
“I’ll never personally experience the pain and fear that many black people around the country go through every day but I know nobody should have to live in fear and nobody deserves a death like George Floyd and too many others,” she continued.
The makeup mogul went on to recognise the USA was currently experiencing “two horrific pandemics”, one of them being racism.
The mother-of-one also shared her fears for her daughter, Stormi, who is black.
“I fear for my daughter and I hope for a better future for her,” she said. “My heart breaks for George Floyd’s family and friends.
“Don’t let his name be forgotten. Keep sharing, keep watching, keep speaking out, because it’s the only way we can come together to help bring this much needed change and awareness. Rest In Peace, George Floyd.”
No matter the race or background, people around the world have come together as one with numerous petitions and donations set up.
Make your voice heard by singing Color of Change’s petition, and Change.org’s petition, or donate to the GoFundMe set up by Floyd’s brother.
