Domineque was suffering from lupus and, unfortunately, lost the battle on April 9. She was 27 years young. Currently, Domineque's family is aiming to raise $10,000 to help with funeral costs. So far, the GiveForward fundraiser has raised over $5,300. If you would like to make a donation, please click here.
Karyn, whose website sought to empower dark complexioned black women, died on April 8, by committing suicide. She was 22 years young. Her passing is a devastating loss for black women who went online to seek refuge in any one of Washington's many initiatives. The most popular is the #DarkSkinRedLip project. Spawned by A$AP Rocky's statement that chocolate colored women weren't considered attractive with red lipstick, it encouraged black women to wear whatever shade of red lipstick that best suited them.
It hurts to hear that two inspiring women with so much promise had been called away to be with the Heavenly Father. My deepest condolences to the family, friends, fans and supporters of these beautiful young women.
