Oluwatoyin "Toyin" Salau, a brilliant 19-year old community activist. Toyin survived a life of trauma and began to forge community in "tallahassee", escaping an abusive living situation and staying temporarily at a church. In June of 2020 she was forced to rely on a stranger who then assaulted her, and she escaped from his house with nothing. "Tallahassee" police maliciously bungled her missing persons report.

Toyin was found assassinated along with another activist, Victoria Sims. Their assassin was sentenced to life in prison, however the structural injustice of lack of housing persists.

I’m happy Oluwatoyin and Victoria were able to get Justice. I hope they’re able to rest peacefully now.

Today, we honor Oluwatoyin on the third anniversary of her passing. Daily, we fight for a world more concerned about honoring us than mourning us. Black girls deserve a world that wholeheartedly believes that every part of us is worthy of protection. Worthiness is innate, it comes with simply having lungs.. its not a badge of honor to be earned through performance, production or excellence. Oluwatoyin was and will always be worthy, and though she has ascended beyond this physical realm we memorialize her sweet and revolutionary spirit.

We want to remember Oluwatoyin’s love for makeup and modeling. We want to remember her love for the arts, for fighting injustice and loving on our community with such passion and unwavering commitment.

“Live in your truth, Always nurse your creativity + passions, remain steadfast in your faith, fight for what you believe in.”

We love you Toyin, and honor your incredible life and legacy infinitely. Rest well. Rest in power, Freedom Fighter.🤍✨♾

You can learn more about Toyin’s legacy by rewatching our Black Girls Are Freedom Fighters Virtual Talk featuring reflections by Toyin’s cousin, Julia. Our Freedom Fighters Fund established in her honor will reopen in 2024.

Sending an abundance of love & healing energy to Black girls. 🙏🏾 🌸💐♥️

Oluwatoyin Salau was a fighter. She was outspoken and fought for justice. Salau was a student, while modeling. And she was a activist— just 19 and did all of that.

But she needed protection especially since she was still a kid. She got murdered for her trouble. A young girl with a bright future ahead of her. Just a teenager, at the beginning of her life.

It broke my heart then when I saw it unfold throughout her Twitter, and it breaks my heart today. While a lot of people in her direct environment failed to protect her, a lot felt powerless to do so too.

I wish her legacy to be honored. Salau achieved so much in her short life. We need to remember her name, her life and what she stood for.

Let her rest in peace and may she forever be free and safe now.

Snow on tha bluff 2 release date

Many assumed her tweet was aimed mainly at Cole and Kendrick Lamar, both of whom had yet to post on social media about the protests at the time of her tweeting. niggas whole discographies be about black plight and they no where to be found". "Poor black folks all over the country are putting their bodies on the line in protest for our collective safety and y’all favorite top selling rappers not even willing to put a tweet up. In late May 2020, prior to the song's release and five days after the murder of George Floyd, rapper Noname made a tweet widely panning wealthy rappers who discussed the struggles of black people in their music but had yet to publicly speak out via social media regarding the protests or Black Lives Matter in general. Cole participated in, in his hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina. Or you can just listen."Snow on Tha Bluff" was released in the midst of the George Floyd protests, which J. Cole did, and take them to task for the way they express the idea. When Black women say they don’t feel respected or safe, you can do what J. Salau tweeted about being sexually assaulted the day she was last seen alive. Cole released this song as Black women expressed their anguish across social media over the death of 19-year-old Oluwatoyin Salau, who went missing earlier this month, having fought on the front lines for the lives of Black men and women alike. It’s worth dwelling for a moment, too, on the specific context here: J. At a time when celebrities are facing scrutiny for their inaction and silence on matters of literal life and death, it’s important for him to speak up-and embarrassing that he used the moment to condescend to a woman about how she communicates with men. “Snow on Tha Bluff” suggests he feels like a fraud of sorts himself: someone who’s been placed on a pedestal he doesn’t deserve someone considering the idea that perhaps he isn’t doing as much for Black people as he can. Cole released “False Prophets,” a song in which he held Kanye West (who he idolized), among others, to the flame. Someone perceptive enough to recognize and contextualize other’s missteps should have some degree of self-awareness. And if you’re complaining about someone’s delivery, there’s a good chance the bigger issue soared right over your head. Men can’t ask women to hold their hands-and then suggest the best way to lead is to follow their instruction. Cole, who’s 35, says during the song’s lone verse. “Just ‘cause you woke and I’m not, that shit ain’t no reason to talk like you better than me/How you gon’ lead when you attackin’ the very same niggas that really do need, the shit that you sayin’?/Instead of conveying you holier, come help get us up to speed,” J. Noname aside, “Snow on Tha Bluff” highlights a pernicious kind of misogyny: Cole’s perspective is that of the man who’s happy to listen to the women in his life, provided they speak to him in a way that flatters his ego. But “Snow on Tha Bluff,” his first single of 2020, is an instance where saying less-or nothing at all-would’ve been ideal.īut the track mostly fails as an attempt to communicate. He’s erred in the past but gotten by, thanks to the same humble honesty that can get him in trouble-you could forgive him, because he at least seemed to be coming from a good place. Cole’s earnestness has largely shielded him from major criticism. His rap conservatism is so deep-rooted that it’s manifested conceptually too: The hip-hop community interpreted his 2018 album, KOD, as sweeping criticism of a new generation of rappers doomed to fizzle out because they aren’t married to the same values that guide him. Cole told this very magazine he’d grown tired of it. His last three albums, you may have heard, went platinum without any guest appearances-the impetus for a joke so worn out that J. He’s self-produced a significant portion of his discography. Cole’s less-is-more approach has made him one of the most successful figures in hip-hop.
