Big Sean's family suffered an unfortunate loss recently when the rapper's grandmother, Mildred V. Leonard, died. She lived a full life, dying at age 93, but Big Sean wanted people to know how full her life was in other aspects. He posted a lengthy story on Instagram about Leonard, who sounds like a truly inspiring person, "Vibe" noted. A graduate of West Virginia State University, Leonard went on to obtain a master's degree as well. She was one of the first African-American females to reach the status of captain in World War II, so she was, like Big Sean wrote, "a true hero." Leonard became a police officer after WWII which, at the time, "was very rare for women to be officers in Detroit." She was also a teacher and counselor, but Sean remembered her as the "best grandma anyone could ever ask for."
