Niecy Nash Reflected On Grief & The Impact Of Her Late Brother’s Death
On Monday evening, the 53-year-old took to TikTok and shared a 2-minute video with a caption.
“I can’t think of one reason for a citizen to own an assault riffle”
In the video, Nash began to speak through tears.
“In 1993, my only brother was killed on his high school campus because somebody brought a gun to school. It’s 2023, and there’s babies who will never make it home to see their parents. And those parents will forever be in a space where they’re like, ‘What was the last thing I said? What was the last lunch I made? What was their last thought — experience? Did they call out for me?'”
The Actor Called On The Public To Shift Their Political Concerns
The 53-year-old continued by explaining that legislation related to drag shows and critical race theory classes should not take precedence over issues surrounding children’s safety and school shootings.
“We are in a place and a space in this country where we are worried about what happens at a drag show brunch… what not to teach in critical race theory… these are the wrong things…”
Additionally, Nash explained that the country is “losing” its way.
“These are the wrong things. It’s the wrong thing, and it is indeed the wrong time. We are losing our way. Some political groups are so focused on the wrong thing that our children are dying. And there ain’t no coming back from that… Not even a little bit.”
Lastly, the actor ended the video by sending her condolences and prayers to the families of all those affected by Monday’s shooting at The Covenant School.
“I am so sorry. And my prayers go out to those families because it’s a pain that I don’t wish on nobody. School is the one place where children should be safe. Now, they’ll be safe getting on an airplane. But school? That’s another thing. And it shouldn’t be.”

My only brother, Michael Ensley was killed on his high school campus….. the NRA wants assault rifles on the streets but wants to ban drag shows & CRT? The focus is definitely off here
