Shirley Raines, Who Gave L.A.’s Homeless Food and Makeovers, Is Dead

Shirley Raines, an activist who built an online following by documenting her efforts to give food, clothing, hygiene products and makeovers to people without a home, has died. Her millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram knew her as Ms. Shirley. She approached people living on the streets with food and toiletries, sometimes dying their hair at what she called her outdoor beauty salon. She called them “kings and queens.”“People have grown to love some of the people that we support and take care of,” Ms. Raines told The New York Times in 2023.
