It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved founder, Ms. Althea McMillan, today, July 23rd, 2024. Ms. Mac, as we called her affectionately, was not only a visionary leader and an inspiring mentor but also a cherished friend to many.
Ms. Althea McMillan, a former Miami-Dade County Public School teacher, founded Be Strong International in 1992, with a mission to educate youth and parents on fostering and maintaining themselves emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Her unwavering dedication, innovative spirit, and compassionate nature have left an indelible mark on our organization and the community we serve.
Throughout their life, Ms. McMillan was known for her dedication, selflessness and immense love to God. Her legacy will continue to inspire us and guide our efforts as we move forward.
We extend our deepest condolences to Ms. McMillan’s family, friends, and all who were touched by her remarkable life. As we mourn this significant loss, we also celebrate the incredible impact Ms. McMillan had on all of us.
Rest in peace, Ms. Mac. You will be forever missed and never forgotten.
