Her death, like many Black women’s, happened at the intersection of racist misogyny, colorism, and patriarchy.
We have to dismantle these systems. This is how we honor her and fight for all survivors #JusticeForToyin #JusticeForOluwatoyin
Black women are not safe. Every single day a black woman is either assaulted or dead. We deserve better. #JusticeForOluwatoyin
