In 2009, the principal of my school was really cool with Michael K. Williams, every Friday he would come to the school to join the conversation on how to make out the hood. As a Dean of Student, to have him as a guest speaker every Friday was a blessing. You will be missed.
โWhy do you use fiction to escape reality?โ Bro, Iโve lived through a recession, two wars and a pandemic. I was a child when 9/11 happened; I watched it unfold live. Escape is a wonderful thing. I pick up a book and Iโm free.
