  • 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 mother. She's stronger then an ox and extremely compassionate and kind

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.
