In her heartfelt post, Tenisha also announced the launch of the Warner Family Foundation and a new initiative called River & Ember, dedicated to enhancing parental bonds. Alongside their daughter, she aims to create enduring connections that Malcolm valued so deeply.

This initiative not only honors Malcolm's legacy but also embodies his vision for nurturing family ties.
