ESSENCE LANDERS’ FAMILY IS STILL SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS

What began as an argument outside a Fort Lauderdale hotel ended with 29-year-old Essence Landers losing her life.

Police say Essence climbed onto the hood of a moving SUV as a man she knew attempted to leave. She fell and suffered critical injuries. Although the driver stopped and called 911, Essence later passed away at Broward Health Medical Center.

After watching the surveillance video, Essence’s cousin said she believes the driver intentionally ran her over and is demanding justice. That remains the family’s allegation. No charges had been filed, and police said the investigation was still ongoing.

Essence was more than the heartbreaking circumstances surrounding her final moments. She was deeply loved, and her family is now carrying the unbearable pain of losing her while still waiting for answers.

May the truth be revealed, may her family receive the justice and clarity they deserve, and may Essence Landers rest peacefully. 💔🕊️

Ok, here is my small Essence Beauty collection. I love all of these products very much. If you are someone who struggles (like me) to keep the lashes up and curled pls try the Mascara Primer if anything. I haven't tried it, but I'm pretty sure it works with any Mascara, but it keeps them up
