Columbia HS Inducts Ayesha K Faines 04 and Michael C Ghegan 86 into Hall of Fame villagegreennj.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from villagegreennj.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Amid a cottage industry of relationship books, advice, and so-called experts appealing to women by playing on their insecurities and demanding they shrink themselves, Ayesha Faines was a bright light. The outpouring of love that has unfolded after the femininity expert’s untimely passing on July 2 shows that she she was, indeed, a supernova.
Faines turned relationship discourse on its head, shunning clichéd stereotypes for depth and scholarship. The Yale graduate pulled from history with the rigor of an academic to encourage women to stand in their power in all things in life.
Ayesha’s words whether in her regular Zora column or as a panelist on The Grapevine, a web-based roundtable-style talk show were profound. More than that, they were reconstructive surgery, fundamentally altering the centuries-long stream of propaganda that has disfigured women’s ideas and visions of themselves. And she operated with surgical precision.

Melanie Lawson said. “She was so young when she came to
News4Jax but very intelligent and mature beyond her years. When she spoke it was like listening to poetry. I was always so proud of her accomplishments after she left the station.
“Ayesha was also a fierce supporter of women. She never said a disparaging word about any woman so I wasn’t surprised to see her use her voice for women’s rights. She was a wonderful friend and journalist. This news is just devastating. My heart is broken for her family. I know she meant the world to them. I’ll never forget how her father lit up when he talked about his baby girl. I can’t imagine the pain they feel.”
