19 Year Old Kenneka Jenkins

Think for a moment what you can remember from when you were 19 years old.

Several media outlets have already reported on the death of Kenneka Jenkins of the Chicago area. I keep seeing content about the fact that she was at a party rather than who she was as an individual, what she meant to her friends and family and what her life was like outside of the context of this tragedy.

Keeping in mind the importance of writing responsibly regarding such an important matter, I thought to simply provide a link to a statement from her family.

The family of 19 year old Kenneka Jenkins has released a statement via the Chicago Tribune which can be viewed at the link below:

Earlier today I was thinking about how we can become better as a society, how we can treat each other better and how there are so many circumstances in which you can certainly say, "People deserve better."
