I’m grateful to have the opportunity to participate in #sharethemicnow. So much of the work that I do is about lifting up the voices of Black women and people at the margins. I focus on issues of policing and mass incarceration and have dedicated the last 21 years of my life to supporting the freedom of Black people. Join me in imaging a new world, one that truly believes in supporting Black folks thriving not just surviving. 📸 iamdamonturner
