By George Mangula

Miss Uganda North America 2019/20 Vanessa Nansamba has condemned the brutality against black people in the United States of America following the recent death of black American George Flyod who met his death at the hands of police officers.

“Miss Uganda North America as a platform strives to empower young Black women and bring awareness to global issues. We have watched the violence towards Black lives – that is often brought upon them by law enforcement, leading to broken families and mistrust towards authorities,” she says.

Ms Nansamba says, “It is part of a wider systematic problem of disproportionate treatment of African Americans and other people of color. We stand in solidarity with the Black community to be a part of the process towards justice and equality.”

“To me, solidarity means action. The world needs to take action against racism. I encourage you to send emails to your representatives asking for change, sign petitions, donate, peacefully protest, and educate yourselves on the matters at hand. I stand with equality. I stand with justice.  Black Lives Matter.”
