      Since the beginning of 2020, people all over the world have struggled and suffered tragic loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here in America, the Black community has continued to struggle with our own pandemic, that of systemic and institutionalized racism, social injustice food desserts, health disparities, police brutality and the list goes on. We have been fortunate to see a number of brave men and women stand up against these injustices on national television, taking on those that represent everything that’s wrong with the system and speaking for the voiceless or unheard. Midwin Charles was one of those brave fighters. When the news broke of her passing the night of April 6, 2021 I remember making a couple of calls and the friends who I spoke with were in disbelief.

      I write this wishing I had the opportunity to have sat with her and ask her some very in depth questions about her journey, her decision to use her voice the way she did and to whom or what she attributed her strength. Sadly, I will never have that opportunity, but her legacy will live on. Though I didn’t know Midwin directly, I knew of her and had a few friends who shared a close relationship with her, some before she launched her firm and achieved media recognition and others after her public success. Everyone said the same thing, she was a real one. Nothing fake or phony, just a real, down to earth, solid and true person who fought for what she believed in.

      To her family and loved ones, we offer our heartfelt condolences and pray that they will find the strength to carry them through this difficult time. To those, like me, who have watched Midwin on television, I invite you to pick up the gauntlet and continue what she has been doing. Fight! Fight for what you believe in. Live your life with focus and purpose and never forget who you are and where you are from or the people whose shoulders you stood on to achieve your success.
