Rest in Peace Chadwick Boseman (29 November 1976 - 28 August 2020)

danaigurira: How do you honor a king? Reeling from the loss of my colleague, my friend, my brother. Struggling for words. Nothing feels adequate. I always marveled at how special Chadwick was. Such a pure hearted, profoundly generous, regal, fun guy. My entire job as Okoye was to respect and protect a king. Honor his leadership. Chadwick made that job profoundly easy. He was the epitome of kindness, elegance, diligence and grace. On many an occasion I would think how thankful I was that he was the leading man I was working closely with. A true class act. And so perfectly equipped to take on the responsibility of leading the franchise that changed everything for Black representation.

He made everyone feel loved, heard and seen. He played great, iconic roles because he possessed inside of himself that connection to greatness to be able to so richly bring them to life. He had a heroic spirit, and marched to the beat of his own drum; hence his excellence as an artist and the incredible courage and determination as he faced life’s challenges; while still guiding us all.

He was zen and sweet and funny (with the very best laugh), attentive, and truly, truly, good. I can’t even wrap my mind around this loss. A loss resonating in my own heart as well as around the globe. The children he inspired, my heart aches for them, to lose their hero just as they finally found him. I am so thankful to have taken the Black Panther journey with him. To have known him, spent time in his light and leadership and to call him forever a friend.

it’s been nearly 24 hours and I still can get over the fact that I won’t see you on tv for such a long time, or I won’t see you anymore at all. But thank you. Thank you for everything, thank you for the lessons I’ve learned from you and things I’ve acknowledged because of you. You are someone who holds a special place in my heart and even though I didn’t get a chance to tell you this in person, it’s fine. You’re true wrestling legend who’s came such a long way from this girl who liked puns a little bit too much to someone who broke so many barriers. I’m forever proud of you Becky Lynch.

To Rebeca Quin, a woman behind The Man. You shine brighter than the stars, you’re a kind and amazing person with a beautiful soul. I know you’ll be a perfect mother. I’ll be missing you so much but I believe that the happiness you gave me and so many other people is coming back to you right now. You deserve everything and more.

Happy Birthday Rebecca Quin aka Becky Lynch!

You know something, I know exactly how this feud is going to end, but I’m just happy to see Asuka being acknowledged as one of the best in the world and Becky finally getting her hype back.
