Aaliyah Was Climbing High

 By Gail Nobles

Aaliyah was a singer, dancer, and actress. I think about how she was climbing all the time. I think of her everyday. I know what it’s like to be on your way to do something and something intervenes to stop you.

It is said Aaliyah was in the process of starting her own clothing line with her best friend, Kidada Jones, before her death in 2001. Aaliyah would have been a mega star and business woman just like the singer Selena Quintanilla was planning to do who also passed away.

Hearing about all the negative things that were surrounding the entertainment world, maybe it wasn’t meant for Aaliyah to finish succeeding. I’m sure God looked and God saw. I do not believe that God was finished with Aaliyah. I do not believe it was time for her to go. She was climbing high.

When Aaliyah died, I saw a lot of people hurting. I was hurting. God told me to remember Aaliyah, and that she was real.
