Why would you show his name on this thread, Mel? Is this really a story about kindness? Why do it this way?
#KindnessInScience should be personal stories of people helping others without expecting cookies.
Plus there is a long history of White people using POC as anecdotes.

It would still be poor form to do this with anyone, but especially bad given POC aren't just a story device to be shared with other White people. If it was really about helping get his name out there, don't centre yourself as kindness. You could have simply talked about his work.

I didn't consider this perspective. Have paused to reflect and understand how not to contribute to this in the future
