    Uncle Leonard died a few months later. I think he knew he would be gone soon. I'll never forget that day though. And how it will last me a lifetime.

    When I was in an especially low place that year, Uncle Leonard took me to The Pantry, a downtown LA staple. I ate Philly Cheesesteak and fries while he told me all about his exploits in LA. He told me how he had a growth spurt in his thirties and how he hated my dad.

    My new tatt story: When I was houseless in undergrad and estranged from both parents, I remember my Great Uncle Leonard reaching out to me one day. He was a smooth ass nigga. He wore gators, linen in the summer, and always had a slick hat cocked to the side on his bald head.

    Rest in peace James Avery aka Uncle Phil. Scenes like this are why I'll never fully love Black-ish. They could never. They've tried. But naw.
