Despite his activism in the streets, Cannon said he's felt hesitant to speak to the press lately.

"One of the reasons I've been reluctant to do interviews is because it's not about me, it's about being a part of a movement that's been going on for years," he said. "Mike Brown, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, we've been on these frontlines walking, marching, protesting and quite frankly we're tired of it."

Speaking on the death of Floyd, Cannon admitted that he's often driven to tears.

"To see a white man kneeling on the neck of a black man, as he takes his last breath, as the white man has his hands in his pocket so cavalier, in a crisis," he said. "We now normalize trauma. We see public lynchings daily, on a cycle, on a feed. It is something we can't normalize. And it hurts my heart. I cry at night. It's hard to even wake up everyday knowing we need to get back into this fight. But we're gonna do it. I'm ready to put my life on the line for this."
