What an emotional and unforgettable day celebrating 83 years of greatness with Bill Duke.
We honored not only his birthday, but his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — so well deserved for a man who has lived his life on purpose.
Bill welcomed me into the Duke Media Foundation family, mentored my son and daughter, and featured my daughter De’jia and me in his book Dark Girls. I owe him more than words can express. He has been a covering in our lives, he is a beautiful soul.
Happy 83rd Birthday, Bill. Your star has always shined — now the world gets to see it in stone. ✨
