We are devastated to learn of the passing of Michael Kenneth Williams, an HBO family member for more than 20 years. While the world knew of his immense talents, we knew Michael as a dear friend. We send our deepest condolences to his family for this immeasurable loss.
But I also gotta talk about the joy. Not to again compare #MichaelKWilliams to X but they were both so characteristically Gen X Black men born and raised in these NYC streets. They had been through battle, they were haunted even, but they also grabbed moments of joy full out.
God, he was a true gem. I was so lucky to be around him and work with him on “Bessie”. He was one of the kindest humans in all ways. Being in #MichaelKWilliams presence was a gift. A true gift. Thank you #michaelkwilliamsRIP
Michael K always had on his mind reaching back to pull up others. He carried the struggle w/him wherever he went, in everything he did. Maybe that's a too heavy load. But he started this org to help. It was in his heart. In his honor, if you feel it, give.
