Yolanda, I just want to genuinely thank you for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to play such a major role in your stage play. That meant more to me than you probably realize. Beyond the opportunity itself, I appreciate the constant words of wisdom, encouragement, and belief youโve poured into me.
You always remind me to keep pushing toward my dreams, even during moments when things may feel uncertain. One thing you said that will always stay with me is that my story matters, that the things Iโve been through could help someone else who may be fighting through similar struggles. That really opened my eyes and made me look at my journey differently.
Thank you for seeing something in me, for speaking life into me, and for encouraging me to lean into my purpose. People like you truly make a difference, and Iโll never forget the support and motivation youโve given me along the way.โ Until we meet again Fly High Queen,
I Love You Forever

Yolanda's beauty came from the inside out. Her smile radiated her generous, warm, kind spirit. Her committee to her creativity was awe-inspiring and her dedication to excellence in the craft before her served as proof of her connection to God. Where she shone brightest was within the space of her family. She lifted motherhood as her greatest calling and being a wife as her blessing.
Thanking God for grace, mercy, love and eternal peace.

My Sister. God bless you for even entering my life and being so warm and inviting. We had some great times in the short amount of time we were able to work together. You were a blessing to me and so many people around you. You helped save a lot of young girls and women. Thank you for allowing me in that space. Love you and may your soul rest easy in Christ. ๐๐ฝ๐๏ธ๐๐คฒ๐ฝ
