On Friday, Kelvin Beachum's daughter, Kalena, turned six. She'll celebrate with her family this weekend, as her brother's birthday is Sunday. She's creative and likes painting and dancing and swimming. Beachum has also had to have some hard talks with her this year.
"She looks at the news, she hears what's going on on the news, and I had to have this conversation with a now-six-year old," Beachum told The Republic, "about the value of her life, a young Black girl's life."
On that same Friday, a video featuring Beachum was released by the NFL, one that centered on Breonna Taylor.
