Jas “Fly” Waters

Dec. 21, 1981 - June 10, 2020

Show Writer / Hip-Hop Journalist.

When I do “milestone posts” I usually do these in Black and White. But this time, I want everyone to appreciate this person in full color.

Also, my milestone posts are usually just photos, name and what they are mostly known for. But this one hits different because when she was alive, we were associates.

So this death is a little close - *sighs* too close to home for me. We were just two people talking and enjoying life when it suited us. But it wasn’t just tweet spats, it was offline stuff as well.

I helped her with a writing assignment by giving her a netbook when she was desperate for one years ago. She completed her project and we were associates ever since. She used to follow a lot of people on Twitter, but when she shaved down her list, she kept me on it.

We spoke on and off about things, mostly comical, some were news of the day. She put up with my jokes, hear me out when I have something important to say, and was overall just a pleasure to talk to in person... even if I have to LITERALLY look up. (She was a tall woman)

She hosted video chats and she was one of the few people that I actually watch an entire video chat with because she’s got the most interesting stories and always answered my questions. We had arguments just like anybody else, but it was never out of spite and when people tangle with me enough times, you get nice presents.

She was an awesome hip-hop journalist, a supportive person to everyone that stick with her, but also a beautiful writer of stories.

She’s going to be missed by me and many others. Her final tweet sadly was back in early May and like all final tweets... it’s bittersweet.

See you when I see you Jas.

I do things that matter to me. I surround myself with people that inspire me. I don't fake anything. And I have a lot of patience.

Jas Waters

Jas Waters was diagnosed with depression when she was 19. 2 years later she attempted her first suicide. “Did I want to die? Not really,” she later recalled, “But that was the only way I could break through this overwhelmingly thick barrier of hopelessness that stood between myself and everyone else."

Waters struggled with the disease for the next 2 decades, and the struggle became more difficult during the pandemic. “I’m tired of sheltering in place with my anxiety. Most days is nearly debilitating. Hence, the cooking simply for the calm it brings. So if you’re struggling just to keep the fear of the unknown in check, know that you’re not alone. I’m with you,” she tweeted on 24 April 2020.

On 9 June 2020, the 39-year-old Waters took her own life.

I know that my cousin did not commit suicide! The handling of her case or lack there of was indecent, unjust, callus and biased. As a successful black women that was a mental health advocate, she was upset about some things maybe even depressed but spoke against suicide. She was upset about current events (being trolled online being followed by a stalker that was recorded on IG, the current state of race relations in the world ) the obstacles she overcame successfully in life (abandonment by both her parents due to drug use and ignorance, obesity, she spoke against suicide and encouraged people to seek help on her tumblr well as other platforms). People who have nothing to hide hide nothing and she was an open book. The fact that she had a stalker and was being followed and black mailed, should’ve been cause for a thorough investigation. The fact that she even lived entitles her to that. Edwin learnard was posting on you tube before her death was publicized things that he shouldn’t have been privy to. Other red flags were present... these facts should have been cause for a thorough investigation. Everyone is deserving of equal treatment especially when their death is not due to natural causes. Some of my family is ignorant and some just inflicted with Stockholm syndrome. It’s extremely painful to know that for these reasons as well as monetary driven objectives are obstructing them from demanding immediate answers. I am desperately pleading that you spread the awareness. FACTS: In not even 48 hours and equipped with NO autopsy and NO toxicology report No Forensics the coroners office confirmed her death as suicide. As a family member I am appalled, unimpressed and deeply disheartened. The hearsay/gossip of others allowed the (already in compliance with accepted systemic racist policies) police department and coroner’s office to be tainted with the speculation and or beliefs of outsiders. The same medical examiners office that classified Robert Fillers death as a suicide (during the same 48 hours). Doing nothing is equivalent to being complacent and on the wrong side of history. This is wrong on multiple levels and brings me to conclude business as usual will continue. Please help spread the awareness and share #jasfly #jaswaters everyone no matter what the manor of death deserves a thorough investigation. If it is a possibility that Jas in-fact did commit suicide, she still as does everyone else born in this world deserves a thorough investigation when there is an untimely death. There should not have been access allowed to the scene... so many violations of justice! No longer should we accept the status quo! #questioneverything!!!! you’ve been indoctrinated from kindergarten on, ask questions, do your research. Although possible, the probability of the coroners finding is not plausible. If you really know Jas, you know!
