When the Black mamba died earlier this year I was really sad. I loved the way Kobe played and his discipline. However when the Black panther died that really hurt. Hurt bad. It was like a kick in the gut when I heard, I can’t explain the feeling. What made it even more awe inspiring was the fact that Chadwick Boseman battled cancer when he became the king. He did it with such grace and dignity. His work ethics was amazing. Cancer is not easy it takes everything from you and for him to fight this with such grace is remarkable. I have seen cancer up close and personal, it took both my parents. It was heart wrenching. When people rail against cancer I understand why.
I grew up reading black panther comics and comic strips. Yes I read everything. But I never thought I would ever see him on screen. Black superhero on screen? But one day we heard it would happen and then King T’challa was on screen. I never took my kids to see the movie the school took them. It was a field trip. I was glad they saw it as important. When I saw and spoke to the principal at the time he said, I wanted them to see a black superhero. One that looked like them. My kids loved the movie. The world loved the movie. What can I say he gave the world the black panther and a real life superhero that was black. He was a superhero in real life for me. It gave us a positive view of Africa and black people which was great.
When he disintegrated in Infinity wars, my son asked me sadly why did he have to die. He was excited when he was back in End Games and so was I. Now we realize that he is never coming back and it is so hurtful. This time the king is really dead, long live the king. RIP my king #Wakandaforever.

Each time a movie is released by the ‘wood, a message is encoded in it. That message is for us. I don’t even think we should celebrate headlining a movie, because more of us should be in the movies, and there are those who are there – rich in talent, but who don’t get their due.
We should learn to recognize and decode the messages, which are about us and our greatness.
All hail Chad Boseman.
Hail Chad Boseman and his achievements. 🙏🏽
Truly great, but gentle and blessed giant. In spite of dealing with his chaĺlenge, he comfort so many children suffering with cancer. It is truly a sad loss.
Truly an inspiration. I’m glad he was there for the children. A sad loss indeed.
Hi Andrea long time. Rest in peace Chadwick…enjoyed this posting Andrea.
Rest in power. 🙏🏽. Glad you are enjoying the blogs.
This man was suffering and didn’t complain. He truly is an inspiration.
A character study of Grace and poise. You should read the tributes coming out of the Spike Lee camp, that’s when you get a full sense of the quiet determination and work ethic he possessed!
Real Grace and poise. I did see those tributes especially the one from @clarkepeters. It showed that you can never judge. Nobody knew and he just showed how strong one can be.
My sister was the one that broke the news to me. When she did, I immediately took to google bcz I had to see for myself (whilst hoping she was mistaken). My heart dropped when it was confirmed. I called her back. The first thing I said was “this is not fair”. I started to dive into the cause of this, only to find that it was cancer. Many questions then ran through my mind, when, what kind…I took to Social Media again and then the truth unraveled. With that truth, came more respect and love, he awed me even more in real life! He is and was now even more of a giant to me. As you said, he went through all that he did with such grace and dignity. He taught us Valued life lessons both off and on the screens. He lived it! He breathed it! And because of this, HE IS A SUPER HERO. May God test his soul and may he be at peace.
Yes my friend. I was a superhero on and off the screen. I real giant in spirit. His death will not be in vain. Because of this more persons will take colon cancer and all other cancers seriously. Cancer does not play and neither should we.
As his brother Michael B Jordan said, Rest in Power.
He was a true representation of a king. 🙏🏽
