The mom of Breonna Taylor commemorated her late child on what would have been her 28th birthday.
Breonna, an Emergency Medical Technician living in Louisville, Ky., was eliminated in her apartment or condo throughout a deadly shooting by authorities on March 13, 2020 after they entered her house in the middle of the night. She was 26. Her death caused a rallying cry for justice, and led international demonstrations versus authorities cruelty.
But to her mom Tamika Palmer, Breonna was simply her child, whose life was interrupted. In a June 5 Instagram post, Tamika shared an illustration of Breonna, together with a psychological caption.
“Everybody saying Happy 20Gr8 & that’s cool but ain’t nothing happy about you not being where you supposed to be at 20Gr8, I was robbed, your sister was robbed, your friends was robbed, your family was robbed,” Tamika started. “But with all that being said the world is showing out for you Breonna I know I wouldn’t want it any other way and you don’t deserve anything less but what I will say is I’m sorry, I’m sorry the world you loved and the city you adored traded your life as if you didn’t matter, but as I said before I’m grateful I raised a Queen to show the world and the city different I couldn’t of asked for anything different but you left a legacy with me, your sister , friends & family and we are eternally grateful to you.”
