Several celebrities, including Beyonce,  and film director Tyler Perry, attended the wedding ceremony. Kelly Rowland, Tina Knowles-Lawson, and Robin Roberts are some others.

Jay-Z and his mother, who has been well-known to the public for many years currently serve as the reason why Wilshire is in the spotlight.

According to numerous publications, Roxanne Wiltshire is a businesswoman and a philanthropist. More so, she is the co-founder and president of the Wiltshire Foundation which was founded alongside her sisters. The idea for this foundation had been nursed for quite some time but was further fueled by the death of her oldest sister, Wendy Ann. The Wiltshire Foundation promotes literacy in order to eliminate barriers and disparities in the areas of socioeconomic status, education, the environment, health, and justice. It also stands with the underrepresented, disenfranchised, and marginalized classes.
