    I named my oldest son after Uncle Leonard. And, yesterday, I took that title forever on my arm to carry with me as I carry his memory. Rest in power and peace Unc.

    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.

    Uncle Leonard said that I, like him, was an esoteric person. That very few people would understand me or truly "get" me and that was okay.

    Then, my Uncle drove me Griffith Park and we gazed at the nonexistent LA River. He told me he was proud of me. He told me I was destined for great things. Los Angeles was it's most beautiful that day.

    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.

    My newest at . Thank you to young Black organizers at who spoke with me about their efforts to bring attention to issues of racism in Chicago-area communities. ✊🏿

    For years we have seen folks take part in this ‘it’s just a joke’ narrative around racism toward black students. It is hurtful and disgusting every time, but not surprising.”
