I know this isn’t enough, but I just want to say thank you.
My trip to Comic Con was nothing less than spectacular, and it’s all because of the people who made it possible for me to go. This column is for those who watch my videos, who like my posts, and who comment on my work. This column is for those who share what I do and, most importantly, for those who contributed to making my trip a reality.
First, I want to start off by saying that not many people understand what I do. Being a content creator is a job many people look down on, but then there are the few who genuinely appreciate the work we put in. They understand that it’s just like any other job. It might be unconventional, but it’s honest work (and I have to be honest when I do reviews).
Going to Comic Con Africa this year was a major milestone for me. I mean, I got to interview Misha Collins, I got to experience the convention with some new friends, and I got to do the work I love. It wasn’t an easy journey to get there, but so many people came together to make it possible.
I’m grateful for the companies who contributed to help me pay for accommodation or transport, but I’m even more grateful for the people who invested their hard-earned money in me and my trip. My heart overflows with gratitude, and I’m still at a loss for words for all the support. I will still thank everyone individually, and I know that some of you prefer to remain anonymous.
I hope you all know how much your contribution means to me and how awesome it is to have people who support my work. Some of you have never even met me, and still, you took a chance on me. It doesn’t matter how big your contribution was—the fact that you were willing to help says a lot about who you are as a person. I know none of you did this for a shoutout or to blow your own horn, but simply to help me.
I would love to thank Shivek, Jatin, Khethiwe, Jean-Luc, Jaundre, George, Anuska, Devin, Rayno, and my friends at ALD Solutions. I would also like to thank my friends Ruan and Christie for helping me get around and for their support from the start. And lastly, I want to thank my parents for always supporting my work.
