“I am struggling to think and speak about my friend, Chadwick Boseman, in the past tense.
It doesn’t make sense.
The news of his passing is a punch to my gut every morning.
… that seem ageless…. Chadwick was one of those people.”

“He cared so deeply about humanity, about Black people, about his people,” she said.
“He activated our pride.

“Perhaps with time…
I hope you will do the same.
