Fam, today I learned that one of my favorite souls in the world has passed away.Â
Her name? Mrs. Beverly Armbrister (1939-2025.)
Mrs. Armbrister wasn’t just my former Sunday school teacher, and an integral part of my village that always supported me.Â
She was also one of the first people to see me, and she helped me believe in myself.Â

Over the years, I would get messages from her on my blog or whenever I came back home and saw her at church, she would tell me how proud she was of me.Â
And I would tell her how much I loved her.Â
(Like we did right before we took this picture last June. ❤️)
It really does take a village to raise a child, Fam.Â
And I’m so grateful Mrs. Armbrister was part of mine.Â
