Greetings family, friends and supporters,

It is with great sadness and heartbreak to confirm to the community the passing of Mya Imani Watts. There are not enough words to articulate the light that was Mya's essence. She was a joy to be around and touched the lives of all those she interacted with. She was a natural leader, the eldest. She cared for so many and we watched her light shine so bright.

During this time, we come to you to share our pain. Our hearts cannot completely grasp the loss and our minds want to turn back the hands of time. However, we feel it resonates within in the same way that Mya would push us toward advocating for those that need our help to be heard. She would want us to continue her legacy by supporting her family.

This loss will weigh heavily on us, as we lost her light too soon. We want to ensure that her family--specifically, her siblings are cared for at this moment and that all necessary accommodations for Mya's homegoing are made. We ask for you donate whatever you can. No amount is too small. In times of need, the community shows up for each other and we appreciate any effort.

Please stand with us as we support the family during this time. These funds will go directly to the family. Mya will not be forgotten, as she has touched so many lives and the impact of her work will have ripple effects for years to come. God have mercy on us, WE LOVE YOU MYA!
