Afriye Quamina. He was a titan, a legend, and icon of a man in my eyes that stood for the education and empowerment of all underserved minorities. But, especially, your dad was a champion for the cause of uplifting the minds, hearts, and souls of the African-American community. He was a true hero of my youth, an inspiration to many, and his legacy will be felt by thousands by those who will take what he poured into their minds and hearts and share with the world. I thank God and Jesus for the privilege of knowing him. His impact and influence on those who knew him both past and present will never be forgotten. A true gift and treasure to us all. Your beloved father will be honored, respected, and deeply missed. May God bless his immortal spirit to be in the presence of the King of Kings in the eternal bliss of heavenly places. Thank you for your selfless-leadership, compassion, joy, love, and service to us all Afriye Quamina. ☺️✝️👑🙏🏽 Karim Prince
