I’ve been off social media for quite a while but could not let this moment pass without honoring the extraordinary & magnificent Mr. Sidney Poitier; my mentor & friend. In this moment, words are insufficient. But it must be said that I am filled with profound humility & gratitude that you allowed me into your life and inner circle of family and friends over the many years. You’ve given me guidance, wisdom, inspiration, hope and so much more. You once said that you expect twice as much from me than you did from yourself. I’ll be chasing that for the rest of my days. Hoping to make you proud. The gift of your time and presence over the decades is not lost on me. You’ve exemplified selflessness and service in your every waking hour. You are the epitome of grace and eloquence & we were the lucky ones to bask in your brilliant light. Indeed, what a beautiful life you have lived & legacy to behold. Now, may you rest in eternal peace kind & gracious Sir! To Sir, With Love! #EndOfAnEra #SidneyPoitier photo credit @aspictures @instylemagazine
