Lady Jay

The glowing light and legacy of a courageous woman Lady Jay

Shines on many people

Her actions built a life and shaped a community

“She bloomed like a plant” establishing organization and places of worship that never existed

 

Advocating for many women’s rights

She had the courage of every woman that roamed this world

Countless endeavors caused by her brave activism

Gaining priceless rewards that expressed Lady Jay

 

A lifetime of volunteer work and community service was acknowledged and remembered

With the ravaging pandemic people gathered on a virtual meeting to honor the legacy

“If she was still with us, she would be finding ways to help people in this pandemic.”

She is remembered from a European queen to a US senator

 

She was the founder of India Fest

Founder and first president of Asian Indians of Hampton Roads

Founder of Citizens First fights injustice, battles discrimination and promotes human rights

Appointed and confirmed by Virginia General Assembly to the Council on Human Rights

Recipient of one of the 2009 Rumi Peace and Dialogue Award

 

Not only was she an activist but also a caring mother

Having 5 children and 5 grandchildren she had faith,freedom and family

She called her home in Virginia the “Global Village”

Because all were welcome there with a cup of tea and a home cooked meal

She was the queen of activism, strong heart, and had many more accomplishments.

 

She believed that hatred and bitterness had no place in her life

Because she had a mission to accomplish

A mission to create love in the hearts of all human beings

No hatred. Only Love. One person at a time

Lady Jay you will never be forgotten
