#restingreatness

I wanted to post some art work but after finding out that the legend Muhammad Ali has past away I couldn't help but just sit and refect on his life. I been knowing his name almost as long as I known what boxing was. As a child wanting to be like Ali and Rocky Balboa I thought I could do it but my grandpa shot it down quick lol. Nonetheless I admired his charisma and take on life. It wasn't until I was older I realized the work he put in to being the best. Yet it wasn't until I became wiser to see who this man truly was. He wasn't just a great boxer He was a trailblazer for justice and truth. He put his career on the line to stand up for what he believed in. It wasn't his fights in the ring but his fights in life that I can write this and say thank you Muhammad Ali for being one of my heroes. Song playing in the background is from Nina Simone and its called why?(the king of love is dead) I felt this best described what I'm feeling at the moment. #restingreatness #muhammadali #myheroinlife
