NOTING HER STRONG GENES

Cynthia’s grandma Frankie Mae Ford would have been 106 years old, a “beautiful and classy lady,” as Cynthia described her in her commemorative post.

Cynthia shared a throwback photo of her grandmother. She revealed in her caption that her mother sent it to her. It was one of few photos they had of her.

The engaged star also disclosed that the time she’d been spending at home the past week made her reflect on her own life.

“We were very close,” Cynthia shared while revealing she was very much like Frankie. She likewise said her daughter, Noelle Robinson resembles her grandmother too.

“She was my first example of a black female entrepreneur,” Cynthia added of Frankie who raised 11 children solely without any form of education and by juggling three jobs. She described her as "the boss & the ultimate hustler" who "knew how to make something out of nothing."
