Photographer Receives Message From Bride Demanding Her Money Back Because She Supports BLM, Has A Priceless Response To Shut Her Down
Standing in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement is the least anyone can do. But one bride was less than impressed after seeing the BLM post on her photographer-to-be’s Instagram account.
In fact, the bride got so upset she requested a refund for her deposit. The bride called Shakira “not stable enough to complete the job” and said that the couple “would be embarrassed to have her” photograph their wedding, as they were looking for someone who believes “all lives matter.”
But Shakira Rochelle didn’t fall short of words. She responded to the bride with a DM that blew up the internet and won her the hearts of many. The screenshot was posted on Twitter by a person nicknamed “Q” and got a whopping 812K likes and 149K retweets and counting. So let’s take a look at what Shakira said down below in a perfect example of dropping the mic and standing for what’s right, no matter the clients.

Shakira Rochelle is a 30-year-old wedding, birth, and lifestyle photographer from the Cincinnati area. On her Instagram story posted an hour ago, Shakira stated that “she was hoping to lay low until this frenzy” over the screenshots of her chat with the bride “blew over.”
“But I woke up to something that hurt my soul. There is a photoshopped screenshot circulating stating that coming forward with this story was a business tactic to make profit on the BLM movement.” Shakira called this “the most incredibly absurd thing I have ever heard.”
The photographer explained that the original post started out private until a friend asked if she could share it on social media. “I never had intentions or the desire to go viral for this or anything else,” Shakira stated.
Luckily, the photographer is now booked until winter and is currently not in need of new clients or business.

To any "all lives" people: we say black lives matter BECAUSE OVER YEARS POLICE MADE IT LOOK LIKE THEY DIDN'T by shooting/chocking/tazering black people almost by default. It's hardly rocket science, and I bet you would have similar problems with a slightly more nuanced version like "black lives also matter" because you know in your heart of hearts that your are trying to minimise something you actually know is wrong in the world but dont like to admit to. If that is our of ignorance or actual racism I'll leave up to you to decide.
Ah, Tyler Duffy shows up with his "if "they" didn't commit more crimes"... OK, let's try this again. It's WHO GETS ARRESTED. Who gets the felony over misdemeanor charge. THAT is slanted. READ UP ON SOCIOECONOMICS OF CRIME. Who cops give a warning and who cops arrest is slanted on biases of race, religion, and economic status. Perceptions of who people are is slanted by biases. (E.g., a black man in a Mercedes "must be" a drug dealer or car thief, and not the guy who owns the Mercedes dealership.) .... *sigh* It's not hard to grasp, it really isn't.

Perfectly explained. We need to make this trending. Preferably without little girl or blurred face for privacy reasons.
