Hello, I am Candace Parker. I met Ms. Peachy 3 years ago. She is a very sweet loveable beautiful woman. She reached out to me about my sister Jerriny Caples “Jaebo” was murdered in North Memphis in Memphis TN. She was 25 years old when she got murdered in the Nutbush area. We are still looking for her killer as we speak. Since I met Ms. Peachy I have been getting a lot of people come up to me saying they knew me from TV and the social medica platforms. She has not missed a beat when is tomes to my sister case. I am so proud of Ms. Peachy and her co- hosts. They are really doing God’s work. I am really proud to have been apart of their family. I love them and I thank them for opening up their platform to me and my father with open arms. I also thank them for letting my father and I be my sisters voice.

Long Live Jaebo

January 10th, 2023, I lost my 18 year old son Akhir Jahlil Mahdi Muhammad to a senseless gun crime. Akhir was a happy kid who was attending trade school to become a general electrician while working for the Glen Motel & Hilton in the city of Atlanta! I will never have the opportunity to physically see what he could have become. I always preached education. Yet, my mission changed and that is to Heal..
Ms PeachyTea came into my life when I was hosting a banquet called “Remember Me” in memory(Birthday Celebration)of Akhir and to promote healing for those who are affected by senseless Acts. MsPeachy was Fighting Against Gun/Domestic Violence and gave her flyer to my co-worker in return gave me a flyer she retrieved for me! I then reached out to MsPeachy, spilling my heart out and she let me know she has a show(I didn’t know)and to check it out. But, before I came on her show, we met up and had brunch and talked about life! Why? We do what we are doing? Which led me to appear on her show and talk about Akhir’s life along with his father! It was heartfelt reliving a moment in which you never anticipate or hope no one else to bear! It’s a bit much even so writing a testimonial about your child and them being murdered!!! It’s sad we have a community of youth that has no care for human life and is uneducated about humanity!! I appreciate MsPeachyTea for having the passion and will power to push thru with adversity to #StandAgainstGunViolence.

On July 26th, 2022, my life was forever changed, my son Romello who was 15 at the time was shot and killed. Romello was about to start his first year of high school. I had just registered him, and we were looking forward to him getting back into sports. “He was like Momma I am going to play football again this year”, I was so looking forward to seeing my baby back on that field because he had injured his wrist the year before.

That morning when I woke up, I had no idea that life as I knew it was on countdown, by that evening my son would be dead and so would a part of me. All of my hopes and dreams for my child were taken by one bullet!

Fast forwarding to 2024, I was invited by a friend to come to a venue to support her business and some other entrepreneurs. My day was so hectic that day and I almost thought that I wouldn’t be able to make it but I did before she was set to leave. My friend she ushered over one of the women there who just happened to be Ms. Peachy, and she said “Angela you have to tell her about Mello”. Ms. Peachy walked over gave me her information and it hit me at that moment that we were in the area not only where my son was murdered but also where I had held his viewing and funeral services. I told Peachy some our story, she told me that she would call me, and she is definitely a woman of her word.

Soon after that event I had my first phone call with Ms. Peachy she told me her story and I told her more of mine. After that first phone call I felt like I had reconnected with an old friend. We agreed that Romello would be featured in her last segment for the year. I was so nervous but Peachy is so awesome she was like “Girl you got this”. She really made me feel comfortable.

That night on her segment, it was like we had Mello back for one night. Ms. Peachy allowed me and my family to express what Romello means to each of us. She gave my son a voice from the grave. She let this city, county and the world know that my sons’ life matters!
That is what her vision is all about! She brought light to my darkness! It feels amazing to see someone being exactly what they are supposed to be and doing exactly what they are called to do. Her platform is her altar, Peachy has been called by God and she answers every time.

Thank you for everything that you do Peachy!!!!
