Eric Garner
She entered the public eye in July 2014 when her father   Eric Garner   died after being put in a chokehold by a New York City police officer.  Eric Garner  was seen on video saying  "I can't breathe" 11 times before  he  died.
A grand jury did not indict any officers in  Eric Garner's  death  sparking more protests across the country. The coroner's report lists  his  death as a homicide  but no officer has ever been charged in the case. In 2015  the city of New York settled with his family for $5.9 million.

"I'm just trying to get the truth out there to tell  his  side of the story " she said of her late father. "He was being a loving  caring man that he was  and he was murdered. For a whole year  I've protested every Tuesday and Thursday. I feel like a representative for people throughout this whole nation because I'm doing this  I'm speaking out  me being his daughter. And that's what I want to do  I just want to tell my truths."
