BEA GADDY (Bmore's Mother Teresa)


In honor of this being Black History month, I decided to put you fools up on one of the most respected people in my city. Beatrice Frankie Fowler born in Wake Forest, North Carolina, outside Raleigh. She was an incredible woman. She came from a broken home and was a high-school dropout and twice-divorced mother of five. She helped the city's poor by starting a community kitchen aided by the food donations of others. Gaddy also ran a shelter for women and children, and a program that fixed up abandoned rowhouses for unfortunate families. She succumbed to breast cancer in October 2001. She was 68 years old. Let her be an example that you don't have to come from much to have a lasting impact on the world. peace.
