Hello everyone, 

This episode is dedicated to the life and career of Chadwick Boseman. From playing heroes such as Thurgood Marshall and Jackie Robinson to playing the Black Panther, Chadwick embodied much of what the black community stood for. His roles were impactful beyond belief and he carried himself in a way that made you want to listen to the stories he told. For this episode, Mason and Dylan speak on his career and some of the impact he had while other speakers (Imari, Kimea, Kevin, and Khari) express their thoughts on what Chadwick meant to them. 

Rest in Peace
