Black women and girls as young as 7 and as old as 93 have been killed by the police, but with the recent exception of Breonna Taylor—their names are rarely heard.
The #SayHerName campaign was launched in December 2014 by the African American Policy Forum (AAPF) and Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies (CISPS), to bring awareness to the names and stories of Black women and girls who have been victimized by racist police violence, and to provide support to their families.
Actress Kerry Washington is one of those working closely with the AAPF on the campaign “to educate people on a lot of the women who haven’t been mentioned—the Sandra Blands, the Breonna Taylors—getting people to focus on the ways that these injustice impacts families across the board, male and female.”
For the first time, family members of Black women killed by police came together in May of 2015 from across the country for a powerful vigil designed to draw attention to their loved ones’ stories.
That same week, AAPF and CISPS, in partnership with Andrea Ritchie, released a report entitled Say Her Name: Resisting Police Brutality Against Black Women, providing an analytical framework for understanding black women’s susceptibility to police brutality and state-sanctioned violence, and it also offers some suggestions on how to effectively mobilize various communities and empower them to advocate for racial justice.

It is so very difficult for me to say which of the roles Ive done is my favorite. Its like asking me which of three best friends is my favorite. I feel very close to each of these women because each afforded me an experience that allowed me tremendous growth.
In my early years, there were a number of experiences that made me decide I could not afford the luxury of just being an actress. There were a number of issues I wanted to address. And I wanted to use my career as a platform.
I am not a quitter. I will fight until I drop. It is just a matter of having some faith in the fact that as long as you are able to draw breath in the universe, you have a chance.
When I attack a role, be it TV, film or stage, the first thing I say is, I dont want to know anything. If its good I dont want to hear it; if its bad I dont want to hear it. The only thing either thing can do is distract me. I like to stay focused.
I think when you begin to think of yourself as having achieved something, then theres nothing left for you to work towards. I want to believe that there is a mountain so high that I will spend my entire life striving to reach the top of it.
One lady told me that before she saw Sounder she didnt believe black people could love each other, have deep relationships in the same way as white people.
Ive never encouraged anyone to go into this business. But I would never discourage anybody either, because no one could discourage me.
I dont condemn anyone for making their choices. If someone chooses those roles, fine.
But not for me. When someone stops me and says, Youre the reason I became an actress, that lets me know I made the right decision.
