In a time when so many black men, teens and boys are losing their lives way too soon we wanted to shine a light on women who have suffered the same fate.

Introducing the “Say Her Name Too Picture Project,” coordinated by Shaka Lias Cobb, an award-winning journalist and entrepreneur Kisha Cooper, founder of Scalp Candy.

The #SayHerName campaign was launched in 2014 by the African American Policy Forum and Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies according to AAPF website.

Its goal is to bring awareness to the “often invisible names and stories of black women and girls who have been victimized by racist police violence and provides support to their families.”

This project highlights seven of many women whose life was cut short and all mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and queens.

#SandraBland, 28, found hanged in a jail cell three days after being arrested during a traffic stop.

#KorrynGaines, 23, killed after a six- hour standoff with police attempting to serve a bench warrant.

#AtatianaJefferson, 28, killed inside her home after a neighbor called police for a welfare check.

#KathrynJohnston, 92, killed during a botched drug raid at her home.

#NatashaMcKenna, 37, died while in police custody after being tasered multiple times.

#BreonnaTaylor, 26, killed while in her home when officers entered without knocking or identifying themselves.
