Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s widow is coming forward to honor his legacy. | |
On Friday, Tenisha Warner on his verified social media account, | |
writing, “Thank you for holding us in so much love during this tender | |
time.” | |
“Tomorrow marks our anniversary — and my heart is wide open,” she | |
wrote. “For the first time, I’m sharing a glimpse of the love that | |
began it all.” | |
Tenisha Warner – who had remained out of the spotlight previously – | |
went on to write that she can “still hear my husband’s laugh” and | |
“still feel the way he made room for every part of me — every tear, | |
every dream.” | |
In the bio section of Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s Instagram page, a quote | |
reads, “I once was sad because I had no shoes until I met a man who | |
had no feet,” followed by the specification, “Profile managed with | |
love by his wife, Tenisha Warner.” | |
“The Cosby Show” star while on vacation with his family in Costa | |
Rica. He was 54. | |
“Today, in his honor, my daughter and I are launching River & Ember | |
and officially opening The Warner Family Foundation,” the caption on | |
Friday’s post further read. “Together we carry the legacy my | |
husband and I began— one that nurtures children’s inner light and | |
gives young artists the freedom to create outside the lines.” | |
In her statement, Tenisha Warner explained that River & Ember has come | |
about due to both her experience as a doctor of psychology as well as | |
her “own journey with grief and love.” | |
“My husband believed deeply in tending not only to the inner light in | |
children, but in ourselves,” she wrote. “This company carries | |
forward that belief - offering stories and rituals that honor the quiet | |
power of connection between parent and child.” | |
Malcolm-Jamal Warner was deeply private about his personal life and had | |
never publicly identified the woman he married in 2017. He also did not | |
share the name of their young daughter. | |
His wife ended the caption on the post writing, “This is love, still | |
moving. Still making. Still carrying us forward.” | |
