Nia Wilson, BART and Parenting

There’s a lot of great stuff happening in Oakland right now. Just this week, Sorry to Bother You and Blindspotting, two critically acclaimed movies set in Oakland by Oakland artists, were released. They are must-see. But there’s also bad things happening too, and the worst thing that happened this week is that two young Black women were attacked by a knife-wielding criminal at the MacArthur BART station. Nia Wilson died from injuries on the scene; here sister is in critical care, struggling to recover.
