It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we share the tragic news of the passing of Joycina Joanna Adrienne, a passionate, vibrant young activist who devoted her life to advocating for change and unity. Her untimely death following an unfortunate incident on Sunday has left the United Seychelles community, and all who knew her, reeling with grief.
Joycina was more than just a name—she was a radiant presence, a force for good, and a voice for the people. She came to Mahé full of hope, spirit, and conviction, celebrating her deep commitment to a better Seychelles—a cause she championed with unwavering dedication. Whether through activism, community involvement, or simply the joy she brought into every room she entered, Joycina inspired those around her to believe in justice, peace, and progress.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Constable Heather Japha, whose immediate response and selfless courage gave Joycina a fighting chance following the heartbreaking incident. It is in moments like these that we see the true strength of our law enforcement officers and the humanity that binds us all.
Joycina’s loss is not just a loss to her family and friends, but to the broader Seychellois community. She was a beacon of hope on La Digue, known for her warm smile, her willingness to listen, and her fierce dedication to building a brighter, more inclusive future. I had the honor of meeting Joycina on a few occasions, and I was always struck by her energy, her sincerity, and her infectious love for life. She was truly one of a kind.
As we mourn her passing, let us also celebrate her legacy—the ideals she stood for, the lives she touched, and the movement she helped shape. Joycina may no longer be with us in person, but her spirit, her fight, and her laughter will remain in our hearts and in the soul of Seychelles forever.
To her family, we offer our most heartfelt condolences. May you find strength in the love surrounding you and peace in the knowledge that Joycina’s light continues to shine through every life she changed.
Rest in power, Joycina Joanna Adrienne. Your voice echoes still.
Your legacy lives on.
