Discussing the Diaspora as seen through an internal Black lens
Nailah
October 3rd, 2007
By now I’m sure you know that Nialah Franklin’s death has been confirmed, and body found nude in a grassy area in Calumet City Illinois. You can read the details here if not.
I just wanted to do a tiny tribute, and get us all thinking about violence against women, and the other missing women, children and men that the media will not cover. Stepha Henry is still out there. Also, again, I point you to Black and Missing but not Forgotten .
Tribute
Apparently Nailah an industrious and gracious young women, all of age 28.
After graduation, she began her career at Leo Burnett, earning promotions, gaining experience and developing relationships during her five-year tenure there. While she was successful in her work, Nailah wanted to take on a new challenge and set her sights on a job in the pharmaceutical sales industry. She has worked as a sales rep for Eli Lilly & Co. since 2006…
Nailah is a force to be reckoned with. A presence. Someone who isn’t afraid to speak her mind, try new things and set the bar high for herself and those around her. She is strong, resilient, vivacious, opinionated and above all, fashionable. A “girlie-girl”, she loves her family and friends, fashion, spa visits, music and anything and everything related to Oprah. — BringNailahFranklinHome.com
