Hydeia Broadband Dies At age 39
I was heartbroken when I got the news out the blue it hit me.
Like a dump truck the information I downloaded my heart was beating a million miles per hour I begin to sweat as if I were in a marathon run
I felt as if I had been reunited with a long lost relative just to be told that they had passed away
And disbelief I was she's gone
Hydeia sweet sweet Hydeia Hydeia touch so many lives starting at the age of three her journey began truly I can say she has served her whole life ...
I'd like to think of her as the gift that keeps on giving and I only use that statement with my beloved deceased son Torian Dajour Hughes
You see we all have a purpose we all have at least one gift some of us operate in our purpose and some of us never operate in our purpose some of us are aware of our purpose and some of us are not aware of our purposes however in this life we learn quickly that we perish daily as we're growing we're dying simultaneously together the flesh gets old and we call it growing
....
We celebrate when babies come into the world and we cry when people leave this earth ...
Somehow we managed to get it backwards we're supposed to cry when we enter Earth's realm and rejoice when we departure this tangible Realm called life in human form.
Ashes to ashes dust to dust...
Only what you do for God is lasting and so I think of these things when I think of the character and nature of Hydeia Broadband in case this name doesn't ring a bell and depending on the age bracket it may not ...
I'd say anybody 35 to 80 ... Would possibly be the age range ...
Hydeia Broadband started out her journey at the tender age of three , not knowing her fate this beautiful brown-eyed coily hair Earth bound angel Was Tasked TO Send A MESSAGE to AMERICA ONCE SHE DEPARTED FROM HEAVEN...
ACCEPTING THIS TASK little Hydeia was Born
June 14th 1984
Her parents were Loren and Patricia
You see this family story is unique in the early 90s there was an illness that plague the land kind of like how Corona did in 2020 no one could escape it and there was no amount of money that could cure it ..
It was like a plague taking everybody out from Hollywood to the ghetto and all in between blacks and whites Latinas and Asians we all lived in fear pure terror ...
During this time there was a rapid increase of births and then a rapid decrease ... Folks were dropping like flies babies were being born ill
Doctors were baffled and it didn't have a name eventually one surfaced and when it did , folks were mortified the terror was real ...
One day while sitting at the family's table I was introduced through my television screen to a little girl by the name of Hydeia She was 5 yrs old she had a story to tell barely being able to speak she had a message to give
"WE LIVE NORMAL LIVES JUST LIKE YOU "
Would soon be the campaign and the start of an activist . She was sickly the doctors figure it out ... Couldn't pinpoint the calls didn't have a name for the sickness and wasn't sure what it was whatever it was HYDEIA had it And IT WAS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER IN THE WORLD so of course the people in her lives were very concerned especially since her life had just begun .
Determined to live little Hydeia and her family begin to crusade creating awareness seeking answers and sharing the knowledge at least what little bit they had which was none at the time
...
At the time there was a Hollywood big name a superstar that had the SAME illness as Hydeia
Threw Divine appointment the little girl made it to the news and was on my TV screen ...
Her story was touching and she had left a mark on me I'm sure she had left the mark on the rest of the world ...
Eventually Little Hydeia Broadband Was diagnosed with HIV come to find out she was born with it and by the time she was 5 years of age it turned into full-blown Aids ...
Years went by and Hydeia would make guest appearances one of them was on Nickelodeon a kids program ...
She also got the opportunity to meet magic Johnson face to face and together they shared their stories supporting one another and sharing the news of awareness ... Hydeia didn't stay in the limelight but she definitely got the attention deserved to help Kickstart Her Footsteps Paving The Way For her to Reach and receive the help/ Recourses She MUCH needed ... (Giving her access ) by the time she was 7 Hydeia A (The ) national symbol of HIV AIDS advocacy ...
Hydeia never capitalized or went Hollywood when it came to the matter at heart she remained humble and utilize the platform to create longevity for herself and others that dealt with this unfortunate virus ..
A REAL ANGEL Hydeia dedicated her life from start to end NOBLY she took up the torch of an illness that plagued her body with BRAVERY and RESPECT ...
Never did we ever hear anything NEGATIVE about her ...
Of course she was human and I'm sure she had her flaws before the most part she did exactly what she came to do ... And she did it with Grace ... And so I wanted to take the opportunity in the month of February Black History month to honor Hydeia As I gather the information of her passing on Feb 20th 2024 .
What a Great Soul to have visited Earth

Hydeia Broadband had no control over the life that she was born into however Hydeia Broadband CONTROLLED her destiny and accepted the path she excelled passing the test with flying colors and great strides to know her or to know of her is to love her and to be grateful for her because she did not have to step into the role but she did for if she didn't we may have never known of her and she may not have lived as long as she did May her spirit rest easy and live on forever for the greater good and cause of mankind and God's Kingdom fly high baby girl because of you age was never looked at the same .
