Don't be too quick to interpret the moment. Just keep quiet. My encouragement would always be: never think anything is against you, everything is blessing. Why should it be different? Just be quiet. Let it all work itself out.

Today marks three years since Breonna Taylor was senselessly murdered in her home by Louisville police. As we honor her and continue to fight for her and SAY HER NAME, I implore the residents of Kentucky to please vote accordingly in this year's election. Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who refused to pursue charges of murder against the officers responsible for Breonna's death and misled a grand jury, is RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR. HE CANNOT WIN! THIS CANNOT HAPPEN! I am begging every eligible resident of Kentucky on this site to please vote, get your family and friends and communities to vote, REGISTER to vote if you haven't already. This man does not need to hold power any longer.
