For the first time in 20 years, @oprah has given up her O Magazine cover to honor Breonna Taylor. She says, "Breonna Taylor. She was just like you. And like everyone who dies unexpectedly, she had plans. Plans for a future filled with responsibility and work and friends and laughter. Imagine if three unidentified men burst into your home while you were sleeping. And your partner fired a gun to protect you. And then mayhem. What I know for sure: We can't be silent. We have to use whatever megaphone we have to cry for justice. And that is why Breonna Taylor is on the cover of O magazine. I cry for justice in her name." Tap the link in our bio to read more about Oprah's tribute to Breonna--and her recent conversation with her mother, Tamika Palmer. Breonna: This one's for you 🙏🏽 The September issue will be available wherever you buy or download your magazines on 8/11. (🎨: @alexis_art)
