Kimberly Handy-Jones is a mother, a freedom fighter, a Black liberation leader, a truth teller, and a mic dropper. She puts her boots on the ground daily, fighting for justice and police accountability.

 

Ms. Kim is the mother of Cordale Q. Handy, who was killed by St. Paul police officers Mikko Norman and Nathaniel Younce on March 15, 2017. Nearly five years later, there has been no accountability for their actions.

 

Ms. Kim and her late husband, William, raised three children and twenty-one foster children in her home. It is a sanctuary of love and family, and her garden provides a place of peace and restoration from the stress and violence she experiences while fighting for accountability for her son Cordale. Owning her home will create a legacy for her children and grandchildren, and allow Ms. Kim the freedom to focus full-time on activism and leading her son's Foundation.
