It’s been one year since the world lost Chadwick Boseman. The beloved actor, who passed away at 43, spent four years quietly battling colon cancer. And in his all-too-brief life, Boseman gave us some iconic performances, most notably as King T’Challa in Black Panther. It still seems irreconcilable in our minds that the man who loomed so large onscreen, who inspired fans across the globe, has left us.

Just last week, fans were treated to Boseman’s final performance in Marvel’s What If…?, where he lent his voice to the animated T’Challa as he explores an alternate existence as Star-Lord. And while Boseman is gone, his legacy lives on at the Chadwick A. Boseman College of Fine Arts at Howard University, which was renamed in his honor. And of course, his memory stays alive in his friends, family, and fans.

Many took to social media today to remember Boseman and his impact.

Chelsea was born and raised in New Orleans, which explains her affinity for cheesy grits and Britney Spears. An pop culture journalist since 2012, her work has appeared on Autostraddle, AfterEllen, and more. Her beats include queer popular culture, film, television, republican clownery, and the unwavering belief that 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' is the greatest movie ever made. She currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, with her husband, 2 sons, and one poorly behaved rescue dog. She is a former roller derby girl and a black belt in Judo, so she is not to be trifled with. She loves the word “Jewess” and wishes more people used it to describe her.
