'I want to be her mother who raises her to know what it means to have brown skin and to be proud of it,' Lauren Akins said of their 4-year-old daughter Willa Gray
with her husband Rhett, went on to share that not speaking up "against injustice" was against everything she stood for.
"I want my children to cling to the good. Love, peace, kindness, joy. I want them to BE the good," Akins added. "Injustice is evil. It breaks the heart of God. I pray He breaks every one of our hearts over this injustice until He returns." “As the father of a black daughter and also two white daughters - I have struggled with what to say today,” he wrote. “and while there is mostly overwhelming support and love for our family, sometimes there is just the opposite. Because of that fear, it can be a lot easier to choose silence, but today I’m choosing to speak.”
