In the wake of the recent debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, a harsh reality has emerged: the future of America is inextricably linked to our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).

On July 6, 2024, Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old mother known for her boundless love, was brutally taken from us. Her life was extinguished in an act of violence that defies understanding—shot in the face by an Illinois police officer.

This was not just an act of violence; it was a stark reminder of an ongoing and unforgivable injustice of innocent African Americans murdered by police.
