David and I got married back in September. It was a beautiful day with beautiful people. @hannah.henke took these amazing pictures that capture not only what it looked like but what it felt like to be in the moment (so even though I’m finally posting these six months later, it still seems fresh!) 3/3: after

These are the Black Americans who were killed during an encounter with police in 2019 and 2020 whose names begin with W, X, and Z. This is week 31. Next week we will honor the people who were killed or whose names were released in the final months of 2020.
This list is intended as a memorial. A way to remember that each of these names belonged to a real person who was important, unique, and experienced joy and love. When I was unable to find any information about the person’s life, I wrote that they deserved better. They all deserved better. From the police. From our country. From me. I’ve intentionally omitted the circumstances of each person’s death, which are often complex, to keep our attention here on their lives.
A typewritten version of this list is available at the link in my bio. If you have questions, thoughts, or concerns about this effort, I want to talk with you about them. Please feel free to reach out via comment, DM, or my personal contact info if you have it.
