Halsey Praises Her Brother For 'Finding His Voice' Amid Protests

Halsey couldn’t be prouder of her little brother.

Since the fatal arrest of George Floyd, the singer-songwriter has been hitting the streets of Los Angeles alongside her fellow members of the Black community to demand justice for Floyd’s killing. Calling to end racial injustice everywhere, Halsey has been sharing a series of social media posts of her attending protests and those encouraging change.

She isn’t alone — her younger brother, Sevian, has also been advocating and protesting for change as well.

“Just want to take a minute to say how proud I am of my little brother @sevianfrangipane for finding his voice and being out protesting every single day,” the “Colors” star captioned a black-and-white snapshot with her baby bro. “Keep your family close right now if you’re lucky enough to have them to rely on.”

“If you are NON-BLACK and: married to a black person, the parent of a black child, or the child of a black parent, or any other interfamilial relationship with a black person, then this is a time to let them talk when they feel like talking,” she added. “Listen and listen with love. Don’t assume they aren’t upset because they haven’t expressed issues or traumas in the past. A lot of repressed feelings and memories may be uncovered right now. Receive it with grace empathy and promise to learn or change where need be. 💗 With Love.”

For those who don’t know, Halsey and Sevian are biracial — born to a white mother and Black father.

However, despite her activism, the superstar was recently accused of “never claiming her black side,” a claim she refuted. "I'm white passing. it’s not my place to say 'we.' it’s my place to help,” she explained. “I am in pain for my family, but nobody is gonna kill me based on my skin color. I’ve always been proud of who I am but it'd be an absolute disservice to say 'we' when I'm not susceptible to the same violence."
