I was not expecting the level of grief I felt when I first learned of actor Chadwick Boseman’s death. I wasn’t prepared for it at all. The news felt like a sucker punch to the jaw, when I, like so many others, was already struggling to manage the turmoil of 2020.

I know my grief does not even begin to compare to that of Boseman’s wife, family, and close friends, but my heart still aches at his loss.
