Our hearts still earthquake-ache, after the death of Chadwick Boseman... may he rest in power eternally. In Reflection... 3 little girls came skipping into the bookstore after having watched Black Panther and asked, "is Wakanda a real place? because I want to go there." Their eyes bright... Smiles filled with hope... Full of energy... before I could answer they were telling me what they were going to do when they got there... Chadwick Boseman was a part of a moment in time when interest in Africa, African People, and African ideas was boosted by untold leaps and bounds. He was a part of building newer bridges across the waters between Africans at home and abroad. What big shoes he filled. Libations in honor of a life well lived. Choosing his roles wisely and bringing them to life through his craft. I totally geeked out on the movie Black Panther... Pictured below is my passport from Wakanda. One day I'll see those young girls and Chadwick there again. Yes, Wakanda is a place. It represents an ideal we are striving for, as one big African family around the world. And we are prouder than ever to be a part.
