It’s only six months in to 2016 and by the looks of things, this year’s annual Year in Review compilation is going to be one long obituary. Y’all know that my heart is heavy yet again with the loss of Muhammad Ali. He was my first EVER celebrity crush – and not because he was fine … which he was. Ali put in work to dismantle stereotypes and show what commitment and sacrifice for one’s beliefs really looks like. Never mind him being the most popular athlete in the world and being unbothered as the “powers that be” made good on their threat to keep him from the sport that made him the most famous athlete of his day. He was willing to forfeit his freedom (yes, his freedom y’all) for what he believed in. Let how he lived his life, standing by his faith and using his fame to uplift our people serve as an example of how to avoid being caught up in the celebrity and how to effectively operate in greatness. Okay, we now return to your regularly scheduled disgraceful programming.
