I dedicated She Real Radio to my grandmother, Lilian Allen — the woman we all lovingly call Nannie.

Nannie wasn’t just my grandmother; she was my safe place, my biggest supporter, and one of the few souls who truly saw me. As I grew older, our bond only deepened. She cheered me on through every dream, lifted me through every disappointment, and loved me on days when I felt completely unloved by the world.

When I became an author and released my book, The Mind and Soul of Tiffani Real, Nannie refused to take a free copy. She insisted on buying several copies, proudly sharing them with family and friends like precious treasures.

When life grew dark and the storms felt unbearable, it was Nannie who held my hand, wiped my tears, and walked through the fire with me — never once letting go.

There isn’t a day that passes that I don’t think of her, miss her, and hope that somehow, she sees the life I’m building and feels proud.

I love you beyond words, Nannie. I carry you with me in everything I do.
