phantasmas 12,366 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Raines was known as “Ms. Shirley,” to her more than 5 million TikTok followers and to the people who regularly lined up for the food, beauty treatments and hygiene supplies she brought to Los Angeles’ Skid Row and other homeless communities in California and Nevada. Raines’ cause of death was not released, but the organization said it would share additional information when it is available. Raines had six children. One son died as a toddler — an experience that left her a “very broken woman,” Raines said in 2021 when she was named CNN’s Hero of the Year. In 2025, Raines was named the NAACP Image Award Winner for Outstanding Social Media Personality. Other social media creators [and celebrities] lauded her work and shared their own grief online: Source: https://apnews.com/article/ms-shirley-tiktok-homeless-skid-row-death-obituary-b80f503bdfcf1a80f63a321ccc9b4591 Edited January 29 by phantasmas 1 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
