After George's death, the entire country embarked on protests amid the ongoing health crisis. Many celebrities lent their voices to the cause, and some even took to the streets to show their displeasure towards the racism inherent in the country.

With the ongoing protests, Gianna and her mother, Roxie Washington, have shared memories of the deceased via interviews.

They revealed while on TV that George was a family man who loved to engage with his daughter. The pair seemed to have a special bond and connected easily as a father and daughter should.
