Vivian Adeola

Vivian was the widowed mother of Tanya. She was originally from Nigeria and Tanya found her discipline difficult to live with. Her husband died from a stroke two years prior.

She had three children; Jarvis, Tanya and Damon. Vivian herself had two brothers. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die, The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo)

She wouldn't let Tanya go to the prom, because despite her having advanced two years academically, she was still too young to go dancing with boys. Vivian eventually allowed her daughter to go, because she told her it'd help with a school assignment for sociology. As a result, Tanya would have to write a paper on it.
