Honoring Miss Bee, LLC is a grief healing brand built from the inside out created by a woman who lost her mother, learned what grief actually is while living inside it, and refused to let that experience belong to anyone but her.

Kinyatta E. Gray is the founder of Honoring Miss Bee, LLC and the beloved only daughter of the late Beverly E. Carroll affectionately known as Miss Bee whose life, love, and legacy are the heartbeat behind everything this brand creates.

After losing her mother in October 2018 Kinyatta channeled eight years of grief, becoming, and survival into one of the most distinctive grief healing ecosystems built by an independent creator. What began as a desire to honor Miss Bee has grown into a full brand universe that includes handcrafted grief ritual products, the Motherless Daughter Ritual Tending Care Package, the Grief & Becoming Affirmation Card deck, premium mother loss greeting cards, grief journals, and the Grief Didn't Break Me collection — a line of apparel, accessories, and journals created for grief survivors who are ready to wear their testimony.

Kinyatta is also the recording artist behind Music In Stilettos original music written for grieving daughters, including Mama's Girl, the unofficial anthem of Honoring Miss Bee, and He Said Not You, among others. Her music has been used organically by women across social media to honor their mothers, not because it was marketed to them, but because it was true enough to find them on its own.

A bestselling author, 2023 Remarkable Women Award winner — named by Nexstar Media Group and DC News Now — and a graduate of a rigorous six month grief education program facilitated by renowned grief expert Megan Devine, Kinyatta brings both lived expertise and professional depth to everything she creates. She is a member of What's Your Grief — one of the largest grief centered organizations in the country — and holds a Certified Master Life Coach credential, though she will tell you plainly that what she knows about grief she learned in the car, alone, before her spouse came home.

Honoring Miss Bee, LLC exists because grief deserves better language, better products, better music, and better company than the world typically offers. It exists because the first year of grief is well documented and the years that follow are largely invisible and those quiet years deserve a brand that sees them. It exists because Miss Bee deserved to be honored in a way that only her daughter could do — without committee, without compromise, and without anyone else's hands on her legacy.

This is that brand.
