(CNN)Every day for nearly a week, Manette Sharick and her 3-year-old daughter, Zhuri, drew "Black Lives Matter" in chalk across the sidewalk outside their home in Concord, California.

But every time they wrote the message, they woke up the next morning to find that the word Black, and only that word, had been erased.

"I just wanted to teach my daughter that Black lives matter, Black culture matters, Black communities matter, and that we are the movement for Black lives," Sharick, who is Black, told CNN. "I was shocked that someone could be purposefully doing this. It hurt a lot, it made me extremely upset."

Following three days of what she called "overwhelming frustration," Sharick wrote the message in direct view of her security camera.
