Today would be Korryn Gaines' 28th birthday. But she was murdered by Baltimore police in 2016. Officer Royce Ruby shot and killed Korryn when she was in her own home, protecting her children. #SayHerName

Story I learned last night:
I started Girl Scouts in first grade and was an active scout until I was 17 (12th grade)—did ALL the GS stuff and loved my scouting experience. I was a GS national delegate.
My troop, 1001, was in Detroit and almost all black.
