What the shooting of Ma'Khia Bryant reveals about Black girlhood


As the nation demanded more information in Ma Khia s death and experts weighed in on the shooting, the members of Little Miss and Big Sis reflected on the tragedy in Columbus and what it means to be a Black girl in America. 
Sitting with them was their 23-year-old mentor, Alexis Payne, who co-founded the group last December. After losing her 8-year-old cousin MiKayla “KayKay” Pickett to gun violence last summer, Payne became determined to create a safe space for Black girls in Akron, a place where they could share their dreams and struggles without judgment, and feel loved and heard. 
One by one, the girls shared what they would say to the officer involved in Ma Khia’s shooting if they had the chance. ....
