American singer, actress, and filmmaker, Barbra Streisand has extended a kind gesture to George Floyd’s young daughter, making her a stockholder in movie and entertainment powerhouse, Disney.
Six-year-old, Gianna Floyd, whose father George, a 46-year-old black man was killed by police in May last year during his arrest in Minneapolis, which led to worldwide protest about race relations in America and system police abuse of black people.
Gianna Floyd posted about the nice gesture on her personal IG account saying, “Thank You @barbrastreisand for my package, I am now a Disney Stockholder thanks to you 🥰🥰🥰.” She also threw in a few photos of the official Disney stock certificate.
It is not clear how many shares Streisand with a career spanning seven decades gave Gianna. However, considering her wealth and the fact that Streisand went out of her way to get this gift for Gigi, suggests that the gesture might be a very generous one.
Disney shares are now trading for about US$184. This kindness is just the latest amid an outpouring of love and support for Gianna and the rest of George’s family.
Gianna offered other gifts in wake of her father’s death
She has already been offered a full-ride scholarship to Texas Southern University in Houston and of course, we know Kanye has set up a college fund for her. On top of that, an official GoFundMe page has been set up on behalf of Gianna and it has raised over US$2 million to date.
That’s what we call a village helping pick someone up.
The City of Minneapolis settled a wrongful death lawsuit with Floyd’s family for US$27 million. Derek Chauvin, one of four police officers who arrived on the scene, knelt on Floyd’s neck and back for nine minutes and 29 seconds was convicted last week on two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter.
The trial of the other three officers at the scene of his death is scheduled to begin on August 23.
