    • My two older sisters, repeatedly throughout my life and in multiple ways.
    • Various punk rockers for steering me away from potentially ending up like a stereotypical white South African always aligned with the worst of world politics like they do it on purpose.
    • And more recently, I’m gonna be corny and sentimental and say you and everyone here for kindly accepting me around.
    • And the Blåhaj community in general for being the best examples of open minded and awesome human beings while I was looking for myself.

    My old manager really went above and beyond for me, he fiercely protected me during a bullying thing years ago. I’d do anything for him and will always remember his kindness

    My father. I know I was at least a mild disappointment, not being the son he always wanted, but he never showed that to me and taught me a lot about how to be strong in the face of adversity. (Including how to use knives to defend myself.)

    My mother, too, who was a refugee as a child whose entire family willed themselves into successes upon which my own life was built.
