Jalil Illera

In the wake of the tragic loss of Jalil Sosai Illera, we stand united as a community to celebrate him and his life. The son of Fabian Illera and Brigitte Rangel, and the brother of Fabian Elijah, Cassius, Audren, Lee, and Valentina - Jalil left an unforgettable mark on the hearts of those who knew him. His journey was one of constant exploration. As a Colombian-American and native New Yorker, Jalil enjoyed traveling frequently and lived in cities like Los Angeles, Paris and Nice. His pursuits led him to the Parsons School of Design, where he sharpened his creative talents and further nurtured his love for fashion and music. As a 2013 alum of the Academy for Careers in Television and Film (TvF), where many of his interests first developed, Jalil's spirit touched us all.

We invite you to join us at TvF in supporting Jalil’s family during this challenging time. We're organizing this fundraiser to ease their financial burden, assisting with the arrangements to bring him back to New York, and covering additional expenses they may face. They're appreciative of the outpouring of love they've received thus far. Let us come together to mourn the loss of Jalil and celebrate the special life he lived.

Thank you for your support during this difficult time.
