On July 6, Ohlana posted a heartfelt message on her Instagram story which fans now take to be her final message to them.
It reads: “I have cried, loved, and shared so many great memories with so many of you who are still or used to be in my life. I thank all of you for letting me. I look back in awe of all the opportunities I have been given in my life and I am appreciative. From surviving off video games to traveling the world on an impulse… but most importantly all of the people I’ve met during this run.”
