Proud of my son, Lev, for how he handled this entire ordeal with focus and composure. Grateful to @sethkugel and @nytimes for capturing the insanity and the bigger picture: itās about resilience, not lost luggage.

Have you ever donated blood to a blood bank to help others? We can thank Dr. Charles Richard Drew, a Black surgeon, professor, and blood transfusion and blood bank pioneer whose work has saved innumerable lives globally.
