Dear Kyrzayda,

Thank you for living your life the way you did. You’ve inspired many without even realising it. I mean, I didn’t know you personally but the everyday Instagram stalking gave me the right amount of push I needed on a daily.

You following your dreams, beaming with positivity while taking us along on your journey and still looking badass fighting cancer, was remarkable.

Your style was truly unique. Not many can dare to pair what you would but you, my dear, did justice to every look. That signature side swoop will be missed.

You were and still are a source of inspiration and courage.

You were a GEM.

Rest in Peace, Kyrzayda Rodriguez.
