Marilyn Mosby was thrust into the spotlight when she was presented as the State’s Attorney for the city of Baltimore.
Earlier today, she announced after a thorough investigation, six officers were charged in the connection with the murder of Freddie Gray.
Gray’s death has resulted in demonstrations and protests in the city of Baltimore looking for change when it comes to police brutality, racial profiling, and police misconduct. Citizens are now relaying on Mosby for that change.
Here are some facts about this inspiring woman:

Her mother, father and grandfather were police officers.
