Sweets to the Sweet: A tribute letter to Tony Todd
“What do the good know other than what the bad teach them by their excesses?” - Tony Todd as the Candyman. I remember the first time I ever heard you speak those words when I was a kid. You traumatized the mess outta me for months and yet I was still obsessed with you and your movie titled Candyman and I had to see more. Dear Tony Todd, you passed away last week and the world of entertainment and your fans are grieving hard, especially me. So I wanted to write you this letter of gratitude thanking you for the good you brought to the world with your artistic expression.

Dear Ruby Lee
“You not gon’ run me crazy, I’m gon’ run YOU crazy” - Ruby Lee Spencer. That’s what you used to tell me, Rudy and Kindal on a daily basis, mama Ruby. This was just one of your countless famous quotes. Though you’re no longer among the living I know you’re looking down on me knowing how much I love you, but during this season of thanksgiving I want you to know how grateful I am for all that you have given me.

Dear Cookie & Papa
Dear Cookie and Papa, Of course your real names are Erma and Harry and you are my grandparents, but when all of your grandchildren were babies that’s what we heard you call each other. It’s been awhile since you both have been gone, but I am still grateful for the 25 years that I had you both in my life.

Dear Bien
Dear Mazoo, Of course I call you Mazoo because we started calling each other Mazoo and Fazoo when we first we realized we had a mutual favorite movie, Mulan. Dear Bien, this Thanksgiving season marks one decade since we first met and became friends and I want you to know how grateful for that I am.

Dear Rudy
Dear Rudy Lee, During this season of giving thanks I wanted to write you a letter telling you how thankful I am for you. So I wasn’t there when you were born because, well I didn’t exist, but you were there when I was born. The most interesting thing about our first encounter was you tried to convince our mother to leave me at the hospital the day I was born. This might seem cruel to most, but I give you a pass because I did almost cut your eye out when I was just two years old.
