Twelve years ago today the world lost an entertainer, a sister, daughter, and friend to so many. Aaliyah enroute home after filming her last video "Rock the Boat" lost her life in a plane crash along with eight other beloved people whom worked with her. While many remember Aaliyah for her undeniable beauty we here at Miss Merli In NYC choose to remember her as a beacon of light. A young person who set a precedence for not allowing your integrity to be affected by this world for fame or fortune. Her legacy continues on because she allowed her beauty from within to penetrate peoples lives. She showed that constant hard work always prevails no matter the circumstances and through it all keep your loved ones close because when its all said and done they are all you have. Twelve years later not only does her family remember but an industry, a generation, the world remembers the beautiful soul that was Aaliyah. Miss You.
