“Daddy Changed The World”

As the rest of the world was dealing with an invisible enemy that managed to stop the earth in its place, there had been an incident that was able to get humans from all over the world to stand up and rise to action to speak out against police brutality in the US. The controversial George Floyd incident made it on headlines all across the planet. These are a series of photos taken on that day, a day that would impact my life and that would allow me to get a real look into the world we live in today, these were taken in Poughkeepsie, NY weeks after the riots and protests sparked all across the nation.

I was 14 when I was exposed to the world of activism. It was when Trayvon Martin was gunned down by George Zimmerman. It was a situation I have could have easily been apart of many times in my own life. It opened my eyes in a way that I cannot explain with just words.
