My Late Grandma Gave Me My First Job – Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian has paid tribute to her late grandmother Mary Jo “MJ” Shannon. This comes after Kris Jenner announced her mother’s death at age 91, and fans have been reacting.

Describing her grandma as her best friend and gossip buddy, Kim disclosed that she will never forget her important lessons about family and hard work.

The reality star added that the deceased actually gave her her very first job many years ago.

Her words, “My sweet Grandma MJ, my best friend, my gossip buddy, my forever twin.

You taught all of us the importance of family, and those values are something we’ll carry with us forever!!!!!! You were the woman who showed me what it meant to be a hardworking businesswoman.

You gave me my very first job at your store in San Diego and taught me lessons about work ethic, strength, and confidence that I’ve carried with me ever since. You always believed in me, championed me, and were my safe place.

I know you’re at peace now. Give Papa Harry, Aunt Karen, and my dad a hug for me. You will always be a part of me, I love you soooooo much and I will miss you forever and ever.

YOU ARE THE BEST OF US!!!!”
