In this heartfelt episode, Yvonne, founder of the Britney Lee Foundation, opens up about the profound loss of her daughter Britney, who tragically passed in a car accident at just 17.
Britney, a compassionate and wise young woman, inspired those around her with a spirit as bright as a sunflower. Though her sudden death left an irreplaceable void, Yvonne turned her grief into action by founding the Britney Lee Foundation to honor Britney's legacy and spark change. Through initiatives like the Lee’s Lucky Duck Race and partnerships with local nonprofits, Yvonne advocates for safer roads and offers a space for healing and community support.
As Britney’s motto, #LIVEFEARLESSLEE lives on, Yvonne shares her journey of mourning, navigating grief with her husband, and finding strength in Britney’s memory. This episode is a tribute to love, resilience, and the lasting impact of a life lived fearlessly.
