Regina King, I love you so much. You taught us patience, persistence and how to be masterful in your craft,

Chadwick Boseman is teaching children to dream and to be seen as kings. LeBron James has taught us the strength of all forms, leading by example and providing education to our kids.

Ryan Coogler tells our stories in a way that celebrates our history and proves we do have power.

I'm honored to be included among all of you and to be a part of a vital and thriving community.
