NEW BOOK!!!!
About Imani Vanzap
Who Is Auntie Imani?
With her iconic wit, wisdom, and warmth, Auntie became the voice millions didn’t know they needed. Through laughter, compassion, and truth-telling, she turned everyday moments into life lessons — helping people heal in ways only she could.
But behind the screen, her creator, Erik Dillard, was on his own powerful journey — one that would forever change everything.
After surviving a traumatic brain injury, Erik realized that Auntie wasn’t just a character — she was a mirror. She represented his strength, his softness, and his divine assignment to help the world become whole. That revelation birthed a new chapter: Loft Erik — the man behind the mission, fusing faith, fashion, film, and freedom into a single, sovereign story.
Today, Auntie isn’t being replaced — she’s being revered.
Her legacy continues as the heartbeat of everything to come.
Because Auntie taught us that healing can be hilarious — and that wisdom, when served with love, will always go viral.
Meet Our Visionary
Meet the Visionary, Erik Dillard — the mind and heart behind Imani Vanzap, The World’s Auntie.
Before there was Loft Erik, before there was even BECOME, there was Imani Vanzap, our Auntie — the laughter, the love, the lessons, and the light that healed millions. Through her, Erik helped people all over the world find humor in hardship and wisdom in everyday life. She wasn’t just a character — she was a movement.
But behind the smile was a journey few could imagine. In 2022, Erik suffered a traumatic brain injury that changed everything. What could have been the end became a divine beginning. Through recovery, silence, and surrender, he found not just his strength — but his higher self.
That transformation gave birth to Loft Erik, the creator, filmmaker, and visionary who now continues Auntie’s legacy in an even deeper way. Where Auntie comforted the world, Loft now builds worlds — through fashion, film, and faith — all rooted in the same spirit of love that started it all.
This next chapter isn’t about replacing Auntie.
It’s about honoring her — and showing what happens when healing meets destiny.
