Our culture is mourning the sudden loss of a Hollywood star, Chadwick Boseman. The young actor was battling colon cancer for the last four years.
Like many others, I took a dive into the rabbit hole of Chad’s wisdom. It’s eerie honestly to see some of these moments from the last four years, seeing that he was smiling while silently fighting his battle.
His words and his journey have both been a blessing to me. As sad as it was to lose him, I have no choice but to be thankful for the his strength in providing some of our most powerful moments in some his final ones.
Chadwick Boseman’s legacy will live on from the seeds that his purpose planted in those moments.
One moment that I guarantee will resonate with you is his ’18 commencement speech at his Alma mater, Howard University. The late actor and philanthropist highlights the “spirit of fighting” in this 34-minute speech.
Who would have known that a surprise encounter with Muhammad Ali on campus would be a moment that inspired him to fight for the rest of his life. Hope these words elevate you like they did me.
Rest in power, Chadwick Boseman. Thank you for the powerful and inspiring moments you shared.
