I actually didn’t really get into Black Panther until the Black Lives Matters movement when movies starring black celebrities were heavily advertised. I decided to give ‘Black Panther’ a chance and I’m so glad I did. I loved Black Panther’s backstory and his slogan of ‘Wakanda Forever.’
Chadwick Boseman, who played Black Panther, unfortunately passed away after he privately grappled with cancer for several years. I am writing this post to celebrate his legacy and to raise awareness on the fact that cancer does not discriminate. Anyone, including successful celebrities who play superheroes in iconic films, can get cancer. I was sadden to hear the news of his passing on August 29 last year. Chadwick will always be a legend and role model who always had the best inspirational quotes. My favourite is this one: “Sometimes you need to get knocked down to understand what you fight is.”
