ATATIANA JEFFERSON

Atatiana Jefferson might have been the world's best aunt. She was loving and hands-on, frequently taking her nephews to arcades, playgrounds, and sporting events. She would stay up with her nephew playing Call of Duty after a hard day - to wake up the next morning and make sure he was prepared for school using the schedule that she'd helped him create. 

 

Atatiana was also a pet lover who could not say no to animals in need, even once adopting a wild rabbit.

At 28 years old, Atatiana put her own life on pause to move in with and care for her sick mother.

​

Atatiana was killed by police in 2019. 

You, my dear, have indeed changed the world by your sacrificial love, unbridled work ethic and enduring legacy that is yet to unfold."

- Yolanda Carr, Atatiana's mother, in a letter to her deceased daughter
