THE RR COMMUNITY
Here's what users who submitted 'VRY BLK' had to say about it!
"The reality of a black female having to communicate the injustice and pain of police brutality and hostile environments by directing in such a familial and relatable way proves how deeply inhumane brutal killings of black (frequently) men are, and just how much love and life is destroyed by it."
Emma, 24, London
