Dr. Natasha Weems x The Hype Magazine at the HollyRod Foundation’s DesignCare Gala Featuring Faith Evans, Tina Knowles & the Legacy of Holly Robinson Peete

Founded by Holly Robinson Peete and Rodney Peete, the HollyRod Foundation continues to empower families impacted by autism and Parkinson’s Disease, inspired by their son RJ’s journey on the spectrum.

For Dr. Natasha, the event carried personal meaning. As a mother of a daughter with autism, she found the night deeply moving — witnessing powerful women like Faith Evan’s and Holly Robinson Peete share their families’ stories reminded her why representation and awareness matter. Attending with her own daughter made the moment even more significant.

The red carpet sparkled with attendees including Faith Evans, Tina Knowles, Glynn Turman, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and many others who continue to blend influence with impact. Their presence reinforced the gala’s message that advocacy and glamour can coexist beautifully.

Organizations such as the HollyRod Foundation, Autism Speaks, and the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research remain critical voices in education, research, and family support.
