A Friendship That Changed Lives
Yuri first met Shirley in 2017 in Long Beach, introduced by Pastor Gregory, during a difficult season in her life. Having already transformed his own grief after losing his mother, Lynda C. Hubbard, to cancer into a mission of kindness, Yuri invited Shirley to join him serving the homeless across Long Beach, San Pedro, Orange County, and eventually Skid Row.
It was Yuri who gave her the name “Beauty2TheStreetz” after seeing her lovingly provide makeup, hair washes, and dignity to women on the streets reminding them they were still beautiful and valued.
Through mentorship, friendship, and shared purpose, Shirley found her calling and went on to inspire millions.
Continuing the Legacy
For Yuri, this day is deeply personal.
“It’s my duty to continue doing the work we started together and keep Shirley’s name alive. She showed the world that love, compassion, and kindness can change lives. We must lift people up, not talk down on them.” – Yuri Williams
