2020 has taken away many loved ones, politicians, stars and celebrities. Today, Chadwick Boseman, star of “Black Panther,” is its victim. Chadwick died on Friday 28, after a four year battle with cancer of the colon at the young age of 43.

A statement posted to his Twitter page reads:

“It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman, It was the honour of his life to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther.”





Chadwick came to limelight when he played Black American icons, Jackie Robinson, in “42” in 2013 and his role as James Brown in “Get on Up” in 2014. He also played Thurgood Marshall in Marshall. Boseman who played T’Challa, a.k.a. Black Panther, won the heart of fans for his first role as the character in 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War.”

Boseman was born and raised in Anderson, South Carolina, to Carolyn and Leroy Boseman, both African American. But his DNA test has revealed that his "ancestors were Krio people from Sierra Leone, Yoruba people from Nigeria and Limba people from Sierra Leone."

He is survived by a wife and his family.

May his soul rest in Peace! #WakandaForever

MISS-K JOINS FORCES WITH GHANA's HON. RACHID PELPUO TO HOST THE KREATIVE KICK YOUTH SUMMIT 2020 IN SUPPORT OF THE UNITED NATIONS

Where do you begin to talk about the greatness of Miss-K?  The world has been blessed with very few of her ilk.  You think of courage, defiance, principled, and many other descriptions of strength and might, without forgetting her generosity and will to give back to society. Yet, it was Miss-K’s strong faith that has guided her throughout her journey to date. Not only to believe in herself but also to believe in other people's ability to succeed for themself. That is the reason why she created the Kreative Kick Youth Summit, specially formed to empower and inspire the younger generation, with aim to support the United Nations Agenda on IYD.                   

 


                           

Marking the International Youth Day with a Big Boom, the Afro-Caribbean Powerful Beauty, Artist, Fashion Supermodel, Brand Ambassador, Entrepreneur, and Humanitarian, who was crowed 1 of 100 Most Inspirational Woman in the World by W.A.W, managed to team-up with none other than Ghana Parliamentarians Global Action Leader, Honorable Rachid Pelpuo as a Keynote Speaker, who is also Ghana former Minister of State, former Deputy Leader of Parliament of Ghana- and former Minister Youth & Sports, for the Summit, which has taken place Wednesday 12th August 2020.
The summit focused on 3 specific areas, "Creativity + Global Impact + Youth Empowerment", organized to support the United Nations International Youth Day and their agenda on youth involvement towards global impact.   
Miss-K, also known as Karina Thersa Martinez – who has long been vocal about her passion for helping to achieve U.N, Sustainable Development Goals through empowerment – joined Hon. Rachid Pelpuo and other Renowned Multiple Award-winning Creatives, as guests panelists for the 1-day virtual event. 


Part of creating this International platform, Miss-K decided to carefully involve some of her celebs friends, as panelists which include:  American Grammy Award-winning, Music Producer, Ryan Dimitri (The Ghost) known for the number hit track "Dilemma" produced for Nelly which featured "Destiny Child" member, Kelly Rolland, Nigerian Football Enthusiast & influencer, Dr. Kelechi, Netherland Tech UX Design Expert, Robin V. Zessen, Turkish born, Miss Universe Netherland Ayse Top, Nigerian Musician Anu (The Lady Ekwe), Popular Asian Radio Host Adamya Raj, Nollywood Movies Actress, and Producer HRHTheodora Ibekwe Oyebade, and Pageant Owner, Rachanaa Jain who covered the Media Panel.        


The event was co-hosted by Nigerian Comedian Ram the MC, and a certified award-winning international wellness and teenagers' coach,Tejiri J.Chunu also made an appearance to spread some positive input regarding the Global Impact teenagers have made of late.
This is far from the first time that Miss-K has spoken up about this cause which is so close to her heart, which she has founded back in 2017 and implemented in 2018 and finally launched in 2019, during an event she held in the UK.
However this year, due to the pandemic, Miss-K felt it would be wise to still host the event virtually online and used this opportunity to gather tones of renowned creative experts panelists from various corners of the world.


With all this fabulous experience behind her, without the shadow of a doubt, we've no doubt Miss-K hosted her virtual event successfully.
