Amid the protesting for justice for George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, we are wishing Taylor a big happy birthday.

- All over social media, people are paying their respects and wishing her a happy birthday using hashtags like #SayHerName and #HappyBirthdayBreonnaTaylor, including celebrities who are using their social media platforms to not only wish Taylor a happy birthday but to also encourage everyone to continue to seek justice for all lives lost to police brutality.
