The Taniel Tenn-Hue Scholarship, presented by the Graceful Lighthouse Sisterhood, honors the remarkable life and legacy of Taniel Tenn-Hue—one of our beloved sisters who passed away in January 2025, and a shining example of resilience and unwavering faith. Diagnosed with Syndromic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) at the age of ten, Taniel faced tremendous challenges, yet she lived boldly through her favorite scripture, Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Despite her health battles, Taniel’s determination led her to earn her high school diploma, create her children’s boutique Young Royaalz, and inspire others to trust God and pursue their dreams, no matter the obstacles. Her life embodied courage, purpose, and a radiant trust in God’s plan.

Through this scholarship, we continue Taniel’s legacy by empowering women who, like her, choose faith over fear and pursue their dreams despite adversity.
