News woman across the country have united over social media in honor of late Atlanta anchor Amanda Davis using the hashtag #RedforAmanda.
Anchors and reporters are posting pictures of themselves wearing red to promote stroke and heart disease awareness. Davis died suddenly after suffering a massive stroke at the airport.
“Stroke awareness can save lives and even quality of life. Learn the symptoms. And ladies, take care of yourselves,” reporter Kim Kelly posted on Twitter along with a picture of herself wearing red.
Davis’ funeral was held this week. She was set to attend her father’s wake when she suffered a stroke.
I'm wearing red today in remembrance of ATL anchor Amanda Davis. She died after suffering a massive stroke. Black women are more likely to suffer a stroke than any other group of women in the US. #redforamanda #StrokeAwareness pic.twitter.com/jBWwvUwjIl
