“No other establishment was targeted, and I refuse to be driven out by gentrification,” KeAnna Pickett said in an open letter.
SEATTLE — The widowed owner of Seattle’s Postman store, KeAnna Rose Pickett, says that the business will now stay open.“Over the past few days, I have had the opportunity to connect with many individuals, including D’Vonne’s mother. One thing that has become abundantly clear is that nobody wants The Postman to close its doors,” said KeAnna.following the murder of the owner, and the subsequent vandalism days later.
“I cannot explain the fear and confusion surrounding the recent act of vandalism against my store after a beautiful peaceful candlelight vigil,” she wrote. “It seems to be a scare tactic employed by someone who benefits from the closure of my ‘Black-owned business.’” “No other establishment was targeted, and I refuse to be driven out by gentrification,” she continued. “It simply isn’t fair, and being scared for my life means being scared for all lives.”©2023 Cox Media Group
