In Memoriam: Simone Bresi-Ando + Adinkra Living Shop Announcement

  • Jan 26, 2021
  • Simone Bresi-Ando
  • 0 Comment(s)
On Tuesday, January 5th, our beloved Simone Bresi-Ando transitioned from our realm leaving behind a wave of shock and sadness across the world. We are saddened by her departure but are all blessed by having known her and the wisdom she leaves behind. As the creator of the world's first Adinkra oracle cards, Simone's legacy is cemented in our hearts and minds. She loved Black people and especially Black girls and women fiercely and Tools for Living BA was her love letter to us.⠀
⠀
Due to such an outpouring of love and support via our GoFundMe page, we were able to have Simone's body transported back to her family in the U.K. where she will be laid to final rest. The GoFundMe page is still active and will remain so until Sunday, January 31st. A memorial link has also been established where you can leave messages and remembrances of Simone.
⠀
At this point, with the permission of her family, we have closed down online orders for Tools for Living BA (aka Adinkra Living) and will begin sorting through all of the orders that have come through since before her passing and as recent as January 22nd. Please bear with us as we do our very best to fulfill the orders based on the inventory we have been able to access at this time. A message will be sent directly to those whose orders we are unable to process with further instructions.
Once these orders are processed, the remaining inventory will be shared with a few Black woman owned shops with proceeds being set aside for Simone's estate.⠀
Please note: If you placed an order via the Etsy shop after January 4th, your order will be cancelled and refunded per our communication with Etsy.
⠀
While we engage in handling her affairs, we appreciate your patience and consideration. If you have any questions please contact us at sendingsimonehome@gmail.com and one of us will get back to you in 24-48 hours.⠀
⠀
Signed,⠀
Risikat, Andrea, Anita, Evelyn, and China
