Hey everyone,
"Family and friends of Shanquella Robinson are keeping her name alive through a foundation and service across the Charlotte area.
“I want her to be celebrated not to just be celebrated on the anniversary of her death or date of birth,” said Quilla Long.
Long, Robinson’s sister, founded SBR (Shanquella Brenada Robinson) Helping Hands.
It’s a journey that started with the death of Robinson, on Oct. 29, 2022, in Cabo, Mexico.
“The thing that she went through as far as I felt like she was being bullied into an altercation, so all of that is in there mental health, bullying,” Long said.
Long says the goal of SBR Helping Hands is to give back to the community.
“To give back, to educate and provide a wide range of services to individuals who are having to trying time,” she said.
The foundation is also working to stand up against bullying and inequity.
Deloris McMurray, Keairra Grier and Keshia Donaldson are part of the executive team.
“Plan on doing scholarships because Shanquella was into cosmetology. So we want to help other individuals, you know, get an education,” said McMurray.
The foundation hosted an empowerment brunch Sunday in Charlotte, with a panel including activist Tamika Mallory, family attorney Sue-Ann Robinson (no relationship to family) and Basketball Wives star Jennifer Williams."
