I've been thinking about @es_snipes & family all day. Praying that she recuperates fully. Praying we do better addressing the lingering impact of police violence on Black women. Thanx @ShaunKing for reminding us of this at this difficult time. #sequelae

She has never stopped fighting for her father. Until this very week. New York City has not done right by her family on so many levels. You can’t have any semblance of peace without a full sense of justice.

Thank you for posting this. As a psychologist I am often deeply aware of the trauma in the families and lives of the people who loved these victims of police brutality. It must end.

We're traumatized continuously from police violence while the government does nothing. It's affecting our health.

Yes. I know it. Think about it often. Did u know that trauma gets stored in the body and passed down genetically? I often think about the generational trauma from the enslavement and abuse of Black people. The strength of the Black spirit astounds me. Especially Black women.

Trauma upon trauma upon trauma. And yet, you rise.
