She continued, “I think he would want everyone to remember that you can’t get to what’s possible unless you commit to moving forward. That doesn’t mean forgetting where you come from, but it requires acknowledging the reality you were born into and the power you have to change that reality for the better.”

She then concluded her remarks with, “So whenever you’re in the City of Angels and you see this star, I hope it encourages you to break away from whatever might be holding you back and for you to run your marathon until God says that it’s finished.”

The actress also honored her late boyfriend with a sweet Instagram post in honor of his birthday, sharing a photo of him with the caption, “From 60th St to a Star on Hollywood. Happy Heavenly Birthday Hussle Man. Love You Beyond.”
