You were a fighter until the very end. Peaceful journey to Meechy Monroe and warm thoughts and love to her family, including my soror and YouTuber MsVaughnTV.

#Repost @trialsntresses (@get_repost) ・・・ It is with heavy heavy hearts we post this. RIP @meechymonroe such a beautiful spirit! 💔 She was one of the 1st natural hair youtubers I watched and was partly responsible for me going natural.This is so sad. #meechymonroe

rom @tattle.tailzz After an unflattering but fateful haircut in 2009 led #MeechyMonroe to chop off her chemically treated hair in favor of a short Afro, women on the street would walk up to her and ask how they could get their look to resemble hers. "People would come up to me and ask what I did to my hair," Monroe told the Tribune in 2014. "They'd ask to touch it and I'd let them. I understood that so many black women didn't know their natural hair. They wanted to learn. I'd stop and have a 20-minute conversation in the train station." Monroe combined marketing skills she learned at Southern Illinois University with a desire to help people and launched a YouTube channel with videos that chronicled her life and shared tips on how to achieve different beauty techniques. That included Monroe's signature look, known to fans as "the Meechy twistout," where she'd section her hair in bunches, twist it at night, and let it fluff into a vibrant Afro by morning. Over time, Monroe's YouTube channel collected millions of page views and more than 43,000 people followed her Instagram. Her beauty blog and natural hair advocacy inspired black women around the world. In 2014, she had a stroke, and doctors found a rare type of brain tumor. Her family later placed Monroe in hospice care and she died on Tuesday. She was 32. Via Chicago Tribune{💕💚🐍#ThisIsAREPOST:🐍💕💚 @4evahaka #FAMU_1908💚💕🐍} - #regrann

RIP! I am beyond shocked at this loss of such a beautiful, vibrant woman! She was one of the original natural hair queens and I guess God wanted you with Him sooner. My condolences go out to @msvaughntv and the rest of your loving family. May the God of peace comfort them at this time. You will be missed! #meechymonroe #ripmeechy
