Remembered as “a light at the University” by her classmates, Adia was heavily involved at Detroit Mercy, including as a communications major, library student assistant, poet, Varsity News writer and photographer, TENN volunteer, warrior for food justice and most important, a true friend.<\/p>\n
Referred to as “creative, thoughtful and just a good person to be around,” by her professors, Adia’s quiet strength, sensitivity and humor are missed by so many at the McNichols Campus.<\/p>\n
To honor Adia’s legacy of creativity, inspiration and elevation, as well as her desire to spread joy, peace and love to make the world a better place, funds are being raised to establish the Adia J.
