Today, December 4, 2025, marks 17 years since the untimely passing of my younger Sister, Roschelle Woyee, our beloved “RoRo.” On this heartbreaking day in 2008, Roschelle’s life was taken at our Parents’ residence in North Carolina at the hands of someone who claimed to love her.
This date remains deeply painful for our Family, Roschelle’s Friends, and everyone whose life she touched. The void her absence left behind is still felt every single day.
Through our grief, we have also carried her memory forward with purpose. In her honor, the Roschelle T. Woyee Scholarship Program was formed to keep her light shining through Education and opportunity. Roschelle’s story fuels our advocacy, our outreach, and our unwavering commitment to protect other lives from suffering the same fate of, Domestic Partner Abuse and Sexual Assault. Through this scholarship, Roschelle legacy continues to uplift and open doors for others, ensuring that her light still shines through hope and opportunity.
RoRo, your life mattered. Your voice STILL SPEAKS through our work. Your legacy lives on in every Student we support, every Survivor we stand beside, and every life we FIGHT to protect.
Gone, but never forgotten. Forever loved.
