Yolanda Wallace ("Empress") Youth Education Trust

On January 5, 2020, our beautiful Yolanda was tragically taken away from us in a car accident. Everyone who knew Yolanda’s true heart, knew how much she loved her children. She was always the life of the party and she was taken way too soon. 


Yolanda is survived by her son Kwame, 13 and daughter Ciara, 11.  We cannot begin to imagine what they are going through right now, but we can help them through the process.


This campaign is being organized for Yolanda’s children’s college/university education ($10,000 contribution to each of them) . We would like to give them the gift of this Go Fund Me in Yolanda’s honor.

We ask that you share this campaign with your network and/or make a contribution of any amount which we are calling an “Empress Blessing.”

For those asking about donations for Yolanda's funeral arrangements, this has been taken care of and we would like to thank everyone for asking. 


Her children Kwame and Ciara loved her deeply and she loved them with her entire being.


She will be remembered always.


With Love,


Empress Youth Education Trust
"Family and Friend Organizers”
