With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our loving mother, Cloerinda Jean Johnson Porter-Ford. We were right beside her when she took her last breath, wrapped in our arms. Mommy lived life to the fullest despite physical limitations pressed upon her. She was the personification of true Christianity and her unconditional love is a template that the world could benefit from employing. Her example is what we continue to strive for. We are heartbroken she is no longer here with us, but find solace that her suffering has ended. Her fight was long and hard—she did it with grace and integrity. Mommy will remain forever in our hearts as she continues to guide us from above, as she has done on this Earth.
From Labor to Reward…

Looking back at a spectacular night at the museum 💫 On June 13, hundreds of New Yorkers gathered at The @metmuseum for the YMCA of Greater New York Heroes of New York Gala. The evening featured hilarious jokes from emcee @punkiejohnson, an unforgettable performance from Broadway legend @theebillyporter, and an after-party with @djflash4eva. This year’s event raised more than $1.4 million and honored John Starks (@JohnStarksFoundation), @newyorklife, @Deloitte, and Jack & Valerie Rowe for their ongoing support of the YMCA’s efforts to open doors to education and career development resources for young people across NYC. Thank you to all who attended and supported the Y. We can’t wait to see you again soon.
Be sure to tune in and watch our episode of Raising Fame on @tvonetv this Sunday night at 10pm EST. Our beautiful mother filmed this a month before her health began to decline. We had a wonderful time with Dr. Lucille O’Neal and @sacurry22. #tvonetv #raisingfame #familymatters #support #love #imissmymama
