The mother of Shanquella Robinson, a 25-year-old woman who was found dead in Mexico, said Black social media users are to thank for amplifying her daughter’s case.
People have shown their support in ways beyond social media. A GoFundMe for the family has raised more than $363,000. And on Saturday,Salamondra Robinson said all this may not have happened if it weren’t for the scores of Black social media users calling for a larger investigation.
“I never expected it to go viral, I never do anything with the intention of going viral. I was emotionally invested in the story,” Kane, 23, said, noting that she began researching Robinson’s death after seeing a local news outlet mention the case.
