Welcome to Franki's Fund™

What is Franki's Fund™

Jennifer, Founder of Lady Rebel Club®, (pictured on the right with her arm around her sister, standing on the left) always knew she wanted to support her community with support, awards and scholarships. Being marginalised herself and having faced biases when applying for grants and funding - she understood too well the additional hurdles her community faced.

So when she lost her sister in the summer of 2023 at the age of only 27, Francesca, or Franki as her friends called her, Jennifer knew she wanted to do something in her name to both carry her legacy and to help others like her, who never really got the chance they needed.

Learn More About Franki

A funny, intelligent, creative and spirited young person

Franki was a very talented painter, poet, photographer and was a funny, intelligent, spirited and caring person. She was also neurodivergent, had chronic conditions and struggled with mental health conditions.

Jennifer sees Franki's Fund as a way of supporting other women like her sister, while honouring her memory in a way she believes she would have loved.

Before her passing, Franki was preparing to enter a poetry competition - here is the bio she wrote:

"Francesca Lith is a first generation Colombian American residing in Brooklyn, NY. She is a poet, photographer and multimedia artist. Her work is influenced by the ebb and flow of dealing with mental health struggles, trauma, love and loss, and finding the beauty within. Through her poems she aims to challenge preconceived notions, and remind others they are not alone."

Below is Francesca from 2016 and below that are two of her black and white photographs on tiles and a collage with her, flowers and her cat Spit.
