*DOES BLACK LIVES REALLY MATTER?*
😭😭😭😭😭😭😡😡😡😡😡
🚨 She was dragged through Iraqi streets by her braids.
Shot. Beaten. Captured.
And somehow… almost erased from the story.
At just 25 years old, Shoshana Johnson joined the Army because she was broke in El Paso and dreamed of going to culinary school. She just wanted to cook and build a better life for herself and her two-year-old daughter.
Instead, she was deployed to Iraq.
During an ambush, Johnson was shot, captured, and taken prisoner. She became the first Black female prisoner of war in U.S. history.
For 22 days, she was held captive.
Dragged through the streets.
Beaten.
Humiliated.
All while her two-year-old baby waited for her to come home.
But while the world focused on other stories… her suffering barely made headlines.
Shoshana Johnson survived.
But the question still lingers:
Why did America forget her? 🇺🇸💔
