Back in 2011, I was a biology major and pre med student at Davidson College in North Carolina. I would DJ and produce on my off time but never thought I could actually pursue a career in the arts.
Throughout my time at school, my biology professor and mentor Dr. Campbell (the man in this photo) would check in with me and showed genuine interest in the music I was working on. I would upload remixes online and tried my best to build a following. When some of my music started picking up, he personally encouraged me to pursue my passion and even spoke to the dean of schools to hold my scholarship so I could feel more confident about pursuing my dreams. That exchange gave me the confidence to give music a real shot. And 15 years later I can say it changed my life.
We kept in touch over the years via email but I finally had a chance to see him again in person at BAYO last weekend for the first time since I left Davidson.
I was so honored he could make the trip to see the show.
Thank you Dr. Campbell for believing in me.
And thank you to all teachers who can see potential in their students and speak life into them. Those exchanges mean more than you can imagine. In my case it gave me the motivation to live my dreams.❤️

🚨🇭🇹 “WE DESERVE ANSWERS” — HAITI CAPTAIN JOHNNY PLACIDE QUESTIONS OFFICIATING AFTER SCOTLAND DEFEAT
🗣️ Johnny Placide:
“This is not about making excuses. Scotland played their game and got the result, and we respect them for that. But at the same time, we cannot ignore what happened on the pitch.”
“There were two moments that, from where we stood, looked like clear penalties. We waited for VAR to intervene, we waited for explanations, but nothing came. As players, we dedicate our lives to this competition, so naturally we want clarity.”
“All we are asking for is transparency. If those incidents were not penalties, then tell us why. Show us the reasoning. Let the fans understand the decision-making process. Football is the biggest sport in the world and accountability should be part of it.”
💔 “The dressing room was silent after the final whistle. Many players felt heartbroken because we believed we had done enough to get something from the match. Moments like these can change games, especially at a World Cup where every point matters.”
🇭🇹 “Haiti may not be one of the traditional giants of world football, but our players, our supporters and our nation deserve the same respect as everyone else. We are proud to represent our country and we simply want fairness.”
The comments have sparked widespread debate among supporters, with many Haiti fans demanding greater transparency from officials following the controversial defeat to Scotlan.
Haití vs Escocia, mundial 2026.
Los hombres recordaremos este partido como el día que la FIFA tuvo que robarle a Haití para evitar un papelon, una roja y un penal no marcados para beneficiar a Escocia.
Vergüenza.
