"Tay." is a tribute to Breonna Taylor, a black woman murdered by police in Louisville, KY, and Taylor Williams, a child who went missing in Jacksonville, FL, and was later found murdered. "Tay." represents the danger of violence that black girls and women live with daily. She wears headphones and red polka dot pajamas alluding to Breonna’s murder while she slept, not knowing what the night would bring. She struggles to carry orange cones, symbols of caution, and visual barriers to danger.
Tay is a delight. She loves to be a good helper and always does a great job. She’s kind, thoughtful, and believes in 3rd chances. She loves matching PJs and singing out loud but strange noises keep her up at night. Like Breonna and Taylor, Tay's story will be a cautionary tale.
