Tawanda Jones is a mother, teacher, activist, and voice for her brother Tyrone West, who was killed by police brutality on July 18, 2013 in Baltimore City. Since then, Tawanda has been holding weekly demonstrations every Wednesday for over 8 years called "West Wednesday." Part memorial for her brother Tyrone West and part protest against police brutality, it has created a healing space for community members to fight for all victims of police brutality. As a mother of 4 and a PreK/Kindergarten teacher for 15 years, Tawanda helps fight for a better world where Black children can grow up and not be scared of being killed because of the color of their skin. As she says, "There is no justice, there is just us" and her activism is an act of love. Tawanda is an inspiration, whose activism and leadership show us how we can use our trauma to empower us to fight injustice, build community, and change the world. She is a real-life superhero!
