<div>In Loving Memory of Elisha Destiny Arnold
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with unimaginable heartbreak that we share the passing of Elisha Destiny Arnold. Elisha was a beloved daughter, sister, scholar, mentor, friend, and radiant light. She died at just 26 years old after a brief and courageous diagnosis of gastric cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Elisha was an extraordinary PhD scholar whose work was as transformative as the spirit she carried into every room. As her PhD advisor, I had the highest honor of journeying alongside her. Her research examined how ecological environments support the mental health and wellbeing of Black youth and their families. In particular, she was passionate about supporting Black girls’ mental health. She was deeply committed to creating scholarship that not only advanced knowledge, but also fostered healing, homeplaces, and hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most recently, Elisha designed and piloted “<em>The Glow Up</em>,” a grant-funded research project exploring how a brief Black mother-daughter shared book reading intervention could facilitate mental health conversations and serve as an entry point for healing and, in the process, prevent suicide. Even in the early stages of her career, her work was innovative, community-centered, and transformational.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Elisha received multiple grants and scholarships in recognition of her brilliance and promise. She served as lead and/or co-author on seven manuscripts and a book chapter, with seven additional manuscripts under review or in progress — including two as first author. Her academic future was boundless and her words and her work will live on forever.
</div>
<div>But beyond her remarkable accomplishments, Elisha’s greatest gift was how she made people feel. She had the God given ability to see others fully — to make each person feel special, valued, and capable of making all of their dreams come true. She embodied the very hope and healing she studied.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Elisha was the oldest of five sisters, a role she carried with pride, love, and fierce devotion. Her family was her heart. The loss of their eldest daughter and sister leaves an immeasurable void.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to help cover funeral and medical expenses, and to support her mother and four sisters during this devastating time. In honoring Elisha’s life, we also hope to support her sisters as they pursue and live out their own dreams — dreams Elisha championed and believed in wholeheartedly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial burden on her family as they grieve and begin to navigate life without her. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this page and keeping her family in your thoughts and prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During her 26 years on Earth, Elisha’s impact is immeasurable. Her scholarship will continue to shape conversations around Black youth mental health. Her love will continue to shape the lives of those who knew her. And her light — so bright, so generous, so healing — will never fade.
</div>
