And a random lady from my town hall gave me a bracelet out of nowhere. I had that bracelet where I could see it every morning for the rest of my service to remind me of that small moment of someone going out of their way for me without them realizing how much it meant. I am your friend your partner your black cat poster. I will be one of those adults who say “I’m sorry”. I really am sorry – and ashamed – that you faced this kind of cruelty and stupidity in my country. Especially from the people you came here to help. Thank you for remembering the positive moments and people. I’m certain that your time here, your intelligence, grace and kindness, greatly influenced all the Ukrainians you met. I’m so proud of you! You are the embodiment of “the toughest job you’ll ever love.”

You made such a huge, life changing impact on those around you, and were strong enough to be impacted as well-and still look back with love! I am your friend your partner your black cat poster. They needed to see and meet a kind black man to dissipate their presuppositions and biases. Look at your smile and demeanor, so positive and on top of it, you were volunteering in the Peace Corps! What a role model! What a beautiful story. I taught in a junior high in Japan and had my own “Pasha”. What a wise and kind child! We have so much to learn. I’m glad you were able to have and share this experience.
