Kim Kardashian: ‘Raising Four Black Kids’ Inspired Social Justice Reform
Ahead of her documentary Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project, Kim Kardashian opens up about her criminal justice and prison reform, noting that “raising four black kids” in a “discriminatory” system inspired her.
Kim explains, “My evolution on this is probably some combination of growing up, getting married, having kids, and my life being so different than what it was when I was starting out. Now, I feel like I have a duty to myself and to my children more than the public and I want to be a good role model for my kids.”

She continues, “I’m raising four black kids in this society and our system is so discriminatory against black and brown people. I want to do as much as I can to make their lives easier…I never knew much about the system until I started to dig in, and once I learned and saw how many things were wrong, I really couldn’t stop.”
Explaining how she remains so focused while tending to a million and one things, KK says, “I think that if you really stay focused you can do it all, and I don’t ever plan on slowing down. I don’t want to! I love running my business and doing everything I’m doing, but I love this the most.”
