@dfw_abj I met Royce when he interned at KNON radio in the early 2000s and I was the News Director. Even as a high school student, he was poised and passionate. I'm heartbroken that I missed his funeral because of travel and send prayers of comfort to his loved ones and friends. 🙏🏿

Staying w/ my Aunt Anitra Blayton & her husband. She’s a famous sculptor. She also teaches a graphic novel class, has a super cool house & the past few nights we’ve discussed everything from her favorite comics, to Dune 2 & the NY Knicks. My family never ceases to amaze me tbh.
