Kim penned a heartfelt message, which revealed that for years she has been watching the cases of senseless murders rise, and was too afraid to speak up, she admitted:

"The privilege I am afforded by the color of my skin has often left me feeling like this is not a fight that I can truly take on as my own."

However, Kim said was her anger, outrage, and disgust that she felt for the families affected have pushed her to speak up. "I know I can use my own voice to help amplify those voices that have been muffled for too long," she concluded.

Her friend Lala Anthony said, "your voice is powerful. The work you do is powerful. Thank you." While some fans were critical of Kanye West's silence on the protests, one person asked them to use their connection with President Donald Trump to help.
