Chadwick Boseman
I chose to highlight Chadwick Boseman, who was born November 29, 1979 in Anderson, South Carolina, was an influential American actor and playwright. He was inspired to pursue storytelling after a teammate's tragic death in high school. Known for his powerful portrayals of iconic figures like James Brown in "Get On Up", Jackie Robinson in "42", and Thurgood Marshall in "Marshall", Boseman showcased his remarkable talent for bringing complex characters to life.
Despite privately battling colon cancer for four years, Boseman remained dedicated to his craft and passed away at the age of 43, leaving a lasting impact through his artistry and dedication. He's been an inspiration to my life and hopefully his legacy will be to inspire generations of African peoples, the diaspora to strive for excellence through hard work and authenticity.

Someone's knocking at your door. Marcus Garvey is knocking at your door. Marcus declares unity and love for one and all, but America is in a unique position. She's the only country in his position actually becoming wild and a lot less revolution. The only way we can solve it together in praise, we got to work together in leadership and Lord.
