So.... on this second day of Black History Month 2023 🖤 I was published by @HuffPost! ✊🏿 I thought it was really important to expand on the idea of amplifying the LIFE of Tyre Nichols, rather than magnify the images of his death. 😌 Check it out! huffpost.com/entry/tyre-nich…

I feel like we don’t talk about ✨#miracles✨ enough…like bonafide 🗣️BUT for the grace and mercies of God directly impacting your situation, 👉🏿THIS👈🏿 would not have happened type of miracles. So here goes: My cousin Tomekia Renae Lindsey was laid to rest on Fri, March 17th. /1

She was 45 years young. Under any other circumstance, this would be considered the saddest tragedy. A life cut short. But, let me tell you about my cousin, Meka aka Meek Meek aka Big Meek aka I’M THE BIG SISTER!!! (she has two younger siblings), and why HER LIFE was a miracle /2

reaping the benefits of her faith. I’m so very proud of my cousin. She is the legit embodiment of answered prayer that I’ve witnessed my entire life. Surrounded by the fervent and deep-rooted prayers of her mom, grandmother, aunts and family for 37 years. She is good. My heart /9

hurts for us though because we are left to suffer her loss, and that of her father who passed in 2020, and mine who passed in 2021😞, and my uncle in 2022. That’s a catastrophic amount of loss in a verrrryyy short amount of time. (It’s not lost on me how common this is lately /10

She is a real G. The strongest individual in our family. Hands down. I pray that you all experience the miracles of God in your life, I really do. I believe you deserve to feel what we collectively as a family felt during her homegoing and repast. And it hasn’t been easy, /13

particularly for her mother, my eldest cousin Renae. When you have to care for a physically handicapped special needs child for 45 yrs, that’s no small nor easy task. But HER prayers were answered. She prayed that Tomekia would live to at least see her 16th birthday. Her baby /14

🙌🏿🥹👑💐💐💐💐 All hail, Queen Angela Bassett. 💖
Went to dinner tonight at Verse in Toluca Lake. @WayneBrady was performing. With Boyz II Men’s @shawnstockman and All-4-One’s Jamie Jones on stage, they took a moment to show love to the icon, Angela Bassett, in the audience. Standing ovation. What a moment!
