Dear NOLA Heat Family,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that our dance sister, Tia, has experienced an unimaginable loss. On Tuesday, September 2, 2025, Tia’s son tragically passed away from an accidental drowning.

As a team, we are standing with Tia during this difficult time. We will be sending flowers on behalf of NOLA Heat to honor her son and to remind her that she is surrounded by love and support.

For those who feel moved to provide additional support, you may make a monetary donation through the link below. Every gesture, no matter the size, will mean so much to Tia as she navigates this painful journey.

Once official arrangements have been finalized, Tia has kindly agreed to share those details with the team. Until then, let us keep her and her family in our thoughts and prayers, and continue to embody the sisterhood that defines us.

With love,

NOLA Heat Leadership Team
