From freshman year in Kittredge, to starting ShopFeatured, to living with you for 2 incredible years on Champa St., I'm proud to call you one of my best friends. It makes me really happy to see you thriving in NYC, meeting tons of new people, building new creative outlets, and expanding your horizons. It's all been really incredible to watch. I look forward to many more years of friendship and to watching Trump lose the 2020 election with you. Have a great birthday, brother!

Sweet Kwams, a giant happy birthday. Sending you all the love and good vibes on your day! Wish we could be there in person to hug you and celebrate you but I’m happy to know that you’ll be in good company with your roommates! Really appreciate your friendship and the weekly talks we have during this time when I join you and Ant on FaceTime - it means a lot to me. Wishing you the best day and can’t wait to hang soon my friend! 🖤

Happy G day to my brother from another. Another year down and the growth is still inspiring. The one thing I appreciate as so many others in your circle do is your unique perspective on life. Form Ghana to the Mecca, you’ve blessed many lives in between. I’ll never forget the cold snowing winter where you picked me in the old school wide body to go to school. From then until we perish, love you brotha.

Feeks C - Washington DC!!!
my dearest kwame. happy freaking birthday ! ! ! the bad news is that these are some awfully strange times to be celebrating a birthday. the good news is that this pause has led to lots of reflection and gratitude for the things that make life wonderful out here in nyc. and for me, you are one of those things! because:: you're creative. you're intentional. you're a connector of people - to ideas they didn't even know they needed. you're an appreciator. you're always here for a good time. goes without saying, i'm grateful to have you as a pal. this past year has been fun: watching you bring the basemnt to life, hearing all your travel adventure stories, playing elana's games at bar pitti, spontaneous 90s music video dance parties in your apartment, what a time it's been. looking forward to being on the other side of this, and celebrating you properly! (a socially distanced) cheers to making this next year just as incredible as the last. <3 HBD <3

Happy Birthday Kwambomb!!!!! Thank you for being such a great friend, grilling me when I deserve it, and making me laugh in a way nobody else can. Glad to say I can’t imagine life without you, and I don’t have to!

Uchenna Foxx - Bali
Dear sweet angel of mine. When I think about all the amazing treasures and experiences I have gained through my 2+ years in the big apple, you are top 3 on my list-VIP-priority expedited shipping-first in line-top drawer-Frank Ocean-ghost to my phill-Uber Black SUV-Oscar worthy-penthouse-Frank Ocean (again)-Movie Pass (RIP)-cream of the crop-Dave Chappelle-kimchi to my fried rice. I feel extremely grateful to call you one of my best friends and I think it is safe to say that we are family now (which means you're also related to Deb!). I am so excited to see where this crazy life takes us, and share so many more fun experiences together. Thank you for always having my back, introducing me to Koko, supporting my crazy ideas/scams and laughing at my jokes. I am looking forward to growing old together (or is that only what married people say?...I meaaaan...I'm down to get married if all else fails). LOVE YOU FOREVER.
Nikki Deez - San Francisco
Couldn't be happier to get a chance to recognize another trip around the sun for you. Was literally talking about you today and the way you showed me it was possible to re-contextualize your surroundings and make something out of nothing. Before our friendship, I spent a lot of time around talkers, but you were one of the first people I really saw put their ideas into action. It is something I've taken with me and am glad I get the opportunity to share that with you, and spread that message to others. You also showed me not to be afraid of change, and to take a risk especially if you feel drawn to it, and that inspired me to do the same. Continue to be that connector and communicator, you don't always know who is benefitting from your POV and creativity. Can't wait until we can connect again soon, but in the meantime I hope you feel the love from the people you've impacted around the world and know we're all celebrating with you!
Justin Toomer - Oakland

Dear Mayor Kwame,
Hi I'm a constituent in your community and I know it’s your birthday so I want to wish you a happy birthday...but as a constituent I’m asking you can you please have Winson fully opened by May 15th? If not look in the mirror and then ask yourself, “...if I can’t do this am I a mayor?” With great power comes great responsibility. Do your damn job. Happy birthday Mayor Kwame.
With love your constituent,
Ant Hull - Brooklyn

Dear Kwame,
Remember when we met at Kinfolk and I didn't believe you knew Martha? We hated each other’s guts for a bit. Then something happened. We realized we loved each other. And the rest is history. New York wasn’t home until you got here <3
