“My last 48hrs has been wholesome as I prepared and distributed care & relief packages to my home parish that has been drastically affected by #HurricaneBeryl I’m so grateful God put me in a position to take care of my people! Big Thanks to my team @romeichentertainment for executing the vision..Always!” Shenseea captioned the post.
