Tameka Raymond Continues Fight For Tougher Boating Laws + Plans “Kiles World Foundation” Fundraiser In Honor of Deceased Son…

May, 28 2013 | Written by ATLien
Tameka Raymond’s son Kile Glover died last Summer after an unfortunate boating accident, and Tameka is on a lifelong mission to honor her deceased son’s memory.

[FLASHBACK: Tameka Raymond Appreciates Your Support + How She’d Like You To Honor Kile…]

Raymond launched ‘Kile’s World Foundation” a few months ago and shortly thereafter, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal signed Senate Bill #136 (i.e. The Kile Glover Boat Education Bill) into law (click HERE if you missed that).

While getting the “Kile Glover Boating Education” law passed was a big deal, Raymond isn’t stopping there. She’s pushing for more legislation for tougher boating laws in order to prevent accidents like the one that took Kile’s life from happening again.

Tameka spoke with Jovita Moore of WSB-TV recently, where she shared her thoughts on how boating laws should improve, also, in forming “Kile’s World Foundation,” she plans to honor her son by offering other children access to music & art (things that Kile loved) and hopes to raise funds in a quest to make a difference in the lives of others and to prove her son did not die in vain.

Watch Tameka’s in-depth interview + details about the latest “Kile’s World Foundation” fundraiser below…

Less than a year after Kile’s tragic accident on Lake Lanier, Tameka and her attorney, Ashley Bell, sat down with WSB-TV to discuss that there are still loop holes in the law that need to be addressed.

Tameka shared the following via her Instagram account recently where she is hosing a fundraiser at her Estella Boutique in Roswell on May 30, 2013.

The event is open to the public… but Raymond notes that if you plan to attend be prepared to support the cause!

R.I.P. Kile…

I admire Tameka’s resilience. It’s gotta be tough dealing with memories of her deceased 11 year old.

I’ll be donating… hopefully some of you will too.

  Hummmm, I hope she isn’t doing this for attention . I would hate to know a mother would use the death of her innocent child, just for media attention for herself, because we know how Tameka loves attention. It’s odd that the child’s father Ryan, is no where supporting Tameka in this effort. If this was Usher’s child and Usher was no where around, Tameka would have went to TMZ about now, and had a twitter field day. FYI, Tameka I know you read all the comments this but Nerdy Angel clothing line? No, it isn’t a good Idea.

  Your comment is both disheartening and short sighted! A Father lost a child that was in his care at the time, at the hands of one of his dearest friends and you attempt to defame the character of BOTH parents. It will always be difficult for Ryan, but he is certainly still hurting far deeper than anyone can imagine. Tameka NEVER advertised her advocacy for changing laws NOR was it her decision to name part of the law after Kile. That was the Governor of the State of Georgia’s idea and decision (his press release and interviews). Lastly, a MAJOR problem in our society is the propensity to advertise, promote and encourage everything BUT education, a clothing line that celebrates being smart and nerdy is welcomed and should be applauded. *sigh* #JesusBeAnInjectionofWisdomAndGrace

  Thank you Monique!Alwaysnumberone,I pray you never lose a child.This is not about Tameka,its about her child.Usher has all of you fooled.He is not a man,yet people beat up on her,because HE CHOSE HER.Let her celebrate her sons life,and do something positive in his memory.Im praying for you Tameka.Usher needs to find a comb,and comb his da*n head!

  Usher ain’t nothing to do with her or anything she do leave him out of her BS…and you go find a seat..You no nothing about this woman nor him so lets not speak on there issues.

  How the fuck am I mad Usher choose her? My comment has nothing to do with that. I’m was suggesting that It seems as Ryan isn’t supporting her with this effort AT ALL, yet Usher breaths wrong She’s ready to attack.
  
  Ashley
  
  First off,Usher and Tameka will always be linked.Then you say I know nothing about neither one of them,AS IF YOU DO.We are all giving our own opinions.Is that you Grace???? I JUST HEARD A THOUSAND PEOPLE GET UP TO OFFER YOU THEIR SEAT!!! child bye!!!!
  
  Ashley
  
  alwaysnumberone,My comment was about her doing this for her son and youre questioning it.My bad for the "he chose her "line,if youre not thinking like that.There is nothing more crushing than losing a child. To question that is not right.I say,Give the woman the benefit of the doubt on this one.If you feel I need to be cursed out for that,do you.
  
  ashamed for my people
  
  I did not want to say anything about the clothing line.RIP, child.
  
  Sabrey
  
  What a hateful, opinionated, STUPID comment to make??? That woman lost her child, he was identical to her and if she wants to do a line, a non profit, a Bible series, a restaurant, whatever that was HER son. It isn’t for you to question how she is mourning his loss. You ignorant cow. I hate the idea that people can simply log on a blog and say whatever they want about a person with no repercusions. His daddy probably aint saying squat because he was with him and now their baby is gone. Men are total fuck ups, I promise. I’m happy she’s able to get out of bed and stay inspired and alive. She’s an awesome woman and tough as nails. You are hateful and rude. So judgmental and vile.

  I’m being honest, from my assetment in the media. Hell when her son 1st died she was ready to attack Usher for not being at the hospital , not tweeting support, not caring about Kile, etc. She even went to TMZ with this bullshit, and Usher is not Kile’s father . Yet, Tameka is having fund raisers , parties, making laws in the name of her son, but his father Ryan is no where around supporting her with none of it. She is very basis between Usher and Ryan , this is my point .

  I LOOVEEE the idea of the clothing line, she is representing her son however she sees fit. I love it!! Her ideas seem genius to me, youre a spiteful hater. TMZ reports trash all day, so now she called them with the news? Wasnt her son on life support? Did she really find the time to look them up and talk about her dragon nose ex? I doubt that he was a thought ’round that time. You are reaching and making him matter more than I think he does. Smh Go take a flying leap gurl.
  
  REALLY
  
  CARRY PLENTY OF ICE WITH YOU,BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO BUST HELL WIDE OPEN!!!

  They need to do something about Lake Lanier. Too many people die every year. And, as sad as it is – the announcemnt of a drowning at Lake Lanier is usually how the summer season starts…no lie. This morning Fox 5 quietly reported 2 drownings and one collision over the holiday weekend, almost in a tally format!
  
  There is something odd about that place. The water isn’t right. I’ve been there in daytime and at night-time and it has a certain, placid creepiness to it that just does not seem right. The chances of me swimming in this lake are very slim…and I can swim very well.I just feel like if I ever go under that water, I may not ever resurface.

  The Law she had passed in her sons honor was perfect. Now why do I get the feeling she about to use this "foundation" as a cash cow to fund her once lavish life style.
- Suthernhummingbyrd
  
  This is her way of grieving-can she live, please? I think its great she is being proactive instead of shutting down…They would probably have to admit me to the psych ward if my child passed. She’s very strong for this, in my eyes.
  
  Kendra H.
  
  Agreed! I’m inpired by her resilience and will to push forward. She is a tough cookie with the lemons that life has thrown her way, Divorce, Death and a slore for an ex that slept with her friends? Wooo thats a lot for any woman to bear. I’m happy shes abled to move forward with her life and honor that beautiful boy. He was spitting image of her look at that picture.

  She using this for attention and money she already took the first set of funding raising money and went to Anguilla haha sucka..Thats why the father wants no part.. But the IRS will catch that ass just like Mary and Laryn Fund raiser are for real Legit charities..So she better have her shit straight.Something about this heffa just dont sit right.. How can everybody even your family just straight not care for you

  You are a hateful blog troll, Tameka has had money since I have heard of her and she is always on islands and in exotic places. I’m sure she has money for a petty airfare. Who has to do a fundraiser for a vacay?? How stupid is that?
  This chick been world jet setting since I started following her on Twitter and IG, you’re negative and silly. If my son died, I’d live on a island full time or a nut house. I wish her the best in honoring her baby everyday. Fuck the haters and your evil comments, sad thing is you arent the type or the check book to give anyway!! So shush, with your broke-azz, Im donating to her sons foundation and I can and sure will.
  
  sharon
  
  STHU TAMEKA GOT CHILD SUPPORT SINCE YOU BEEN FOLLOWING. TWITTER DOES NOT DEFINE A PERSON NOR DO YOU KNOW WHO OR WHAT THEY HAVE YOU SOUND STUPID.. FOLLOWING A IG AND TWITTER ..SAY YOU FOLLOWED HER TO A JOB OR SOMETHING MORE REALISTIC.. IF MY CHILD PAST DAM SURE WOULD CARE ABOUT THE MEDIA ..THAT ALL FOR ATTENTION ..
  
  Monique
  
  You are IGNORANT and clearly either a child or an idiot! Her trip to Aguilla was COMPLIMENTARY! No expenses incurred in exchange for the attention the resort and airline gets from her being and tweeting from there. GROW UP and learn to speak what you KNOW! I’m a Entertainment & Hospitality Executive and have given away MANY of these trips, so I’m speaking from experience NOT from a blog story or comment! *smdh*
  
  sharon
  
  STHU YOU ON BLOG AND YOU ARE AN EXECUTIVE…PLEASE GO CASH YOUR FOODSTAMPS IN AND PAY YOUR LIGHT BILL. MY OPINION I’M ENTITLED .. ALL FOR ATTENTION AND MONEY..
  
  humbleknight
  
  HA HA HA you got her!
  
  Monique
  
  YOU are a certified IDIOT, evident by your grammatical errors, typos and vitriol. It is easy to curse and throw insults when you have absolutely NOTHING substantive to say. Interesting that YOU know (obviously from experience) that food stamps can be cashed in. Sadly, you can’t use them here at my beautiful 4 star hotel. HA~

  It’s a great that Tameka Raymond is bringing awareness to the problems at Lake Lanier. There have been several deaths at that lake throughout the years and pushing legislature to change certain boating laws will certainly make a difference.

  I wish her nothing but love and success. She has been through a living hell ever since she married Usher. Kile foundation is a great way to heal and honor Kile and try to move on in daily life. Lost Foundations is that organisation still up today? She have her store as well. Busy woman!
  
  AlwaysNumberOne
  
  She went through living hell in her mind, because she let the blogs dictate how she felt about herself. A mature woman wouldn’t mind her business, and said fucked the blogs . The only living hell she should be going through is handling the death of her innocent child , everything is just BS.
- ComeOn
  
  I don’t know their history in detail facts are he cheated on her with her friend Grace and her friend Maya. divorced her Who wouldn’t be suspicious and act like a crazy motherfucker jealousy is a fact because of it. Later Usher takes custody of their children. During the custody battle Kile dies. Grace show off on instagram with Usher and make sure different news blogs catches it for Tameka to see. Even pose with her children when she knows Tameka despise her just to be provocative. i am surprise Tameka has not had a nervous breakdown yet or giving up on finding a good man. who would trust a man after this? I don’t feel she derserves ALL THIS HATING because she fell for Usher.Give her a break. Women are throwing themselves at him what woman would not be jealous always having women hitting on him???? Especially when in Tamekas case just gave birth and he has to prusue his music career. I can somewhat understand why Grace is always around if they’re romantically linked. I think it is really great what Tameka is doing here. She is trying to move on so I admire her strength and for honour Kile by doing good in his name. Keep up the good work Tameka and keep smiling. Kile is smiling in heaven. God bless.

  You may be surprised at how many women DO NOT want Usher. He’s not the pick of the litter anymore with all his baggage . Why chase after a man you know for fact has a wondering eye for everything walking, because he’s famous? Has money? Cute ( with can be subjective ) ? I’m a child of God and love me as I am, I don’t need a man to validate me and cause pain.
  
  luvUsh
  
  Because he is talented, ambitious, sexy, cool, fun, stylish, wise, humanitarian, bold, fearless, has the sweetest smile, creative, rumored to be a great lover and successful and passionate in what he does. What’s there NOT to love?????????? He doesn’t seem to sleep around at all, wouldn’t paparazzi caught him? Or women start talking to the press if he was pulling a Tiger Wood thing. It’s all BS!!! Sorry for being off topic but I got carried away. I don’t blame Tameka for being sooooo in love with this man and have not found anyone after the marriage to match Usher. If you watch the voice you can see how talented he is or watch his and Blake duet home at benefit for Oklahoma! I think he is doing a pretty damn good job so far with not any hugh scandals more than i failed marriage. Peace

  Geez, let Tamecka do what she FEELS best in raising awareness of her son Kyles death.. if she wanted to tattoo his name on her forehead,build a school in his honor or whatever! so be it!
