Hello, I am hosting an event on November 29, 2026 from 6pm to 10pm in honor of Nayasia aka NyNy. I\'ve spent 300 days visiting the cemetery, I\'ve spent Christmas, New Years, Easter, Mother\'s Day, and her 20th Birthday at the cemetery. On the anniversary of her transition to the higher power, I want to celebrate her life, her light and her bright spirit. I am awarding a scholarship to a college student in the nursing program as that is what she wanted to be. I have already selected the individual. I am also awarding a scholarship to a student in the arts as that is where she shared her passion for dance and music.
My family and I are broken beyond words that can be explained. I\'ve channeled my pain into NyNyslaw, however, great things don\'t come easy. Change is hard, creating laws is hard, however, Nayasia put me up for the challenge in a dream where she said' get up mother and fight!! Do not stay silent, get loud and make sure you create change that will help another family. Don\'t let the world forgot about the innocent, about victims, about hurting families, about me - your baby girl.
So everyday, with about 2-3 hours of scattered naps, I pretend Nayasia is away on a long trip so that I don't face the reality of what has transpired. Thank you to the "NyNySquad", strangers and family. Your support is unmatched.
