On the eve of their anniversary, Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s widow, Tenisha Warner, just introduced two heartfelt initiatives with their daughter, both created to carry his light forward.
River & Ember focuses on emotional wellness for families, and The Warner Family Foundation supports young creatives through a new scholarship.
The announcement arrived as Tenisha reflected on their 2017 wedding and their anniversary, sharing how love continues to move her family.
What Tenisha Warner Announced
On Friday, September 12, Tenisha Warner shared a personal Instagram post marking her anniversary and honoring her late husband, Malcolm-Jamal Warner.
She revealed River & Ember, an organization designed to help parents and children regulate emotions through story, ritual, and art, and The Warner Family Foundation, which will fund scholarships for young artists.
What Is River & Ember?
River & Ember offers seasonal toolkits for parents and kids that support emotional rhythm, nervous system regulation, and meaningful moments of calm and connection.
The toolkits include gentle practices and art-based exercises that can help families navigate big feelings, including grief.
The mission centers the idea that a child’s inner light is worth tending, and that creativity can be a steady path back to presence.
About The Warner Family Foundation
