We just wrapped up our meetup. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped set the tone for this journey. The session was recorded, so if you couldn’t make it live, you’ll still be able to catch the replay. During the meetup, we talked about how we’ll be using the IMVU platform as part of our Week Two challenge, exploring creativity, digital expression, and new ways to build inside virtual space. Get ready to create, experiment, and show up in new ways. More details coming soon!

Family, this post takes you deeper than the visuals, into the purpose behind Grandma Wee as an AI Buddy. Grandma Wee isn’t being created as a chatbot. She is being designed as a digital elder, one who welcomes, listens, teaches, and holds space inside the Healing House VR. Here’s how Grandma Wee will be used: A Guide Inside the Healing House When visitors enter the Healing House, Grandma Wee will be the first presence they meet — offering grounding words, gentle welcomes, and guidance on how to move through the space with intention. A Storyteller & Keeper of Legacy Grandma Wee will share stories of the Wee family, Papa Wee, and ancestral lessons rooted in resilience, faith, and community care. These stories help visitors connect personal healing to collective memory. A Supportive Presence for Reflection She will offer affirmations, reflective questions, and moments of pause — encouraging journaling, prayer, or quiet thought without pressure or judgment. An Educational Bridge Grandma Wee helps translate ancestral wisdom into modern understanding, blending cultural knowledge, wellness practices, and digital literacy in ways that feel accessible and familiar. A Living Part of the Healing House As the Healing House grows, Grandma Wee grows too. Her presence will expand across experiences, watch parties, youth education spaces, and future virtual gatherings. This behind-the-scenes preview shows how much care goes into making sure Grandma Wee feels real, respectful, and rooted, not performative, not rushed, and never disconnected from the people she represents. Thank you for being close enough to witness the building, not just the unveiling. This is what it looks like when legacy learns new language.
