My little cousin Drake has been fighting Alport Syndrome (a rare genetic kidney disease) for almost half of his short life. He needs a kidney. He needs help. PLEASE give him a chance at life by donating or at the very least retweeting this video. 🙏🏾

Yo...I swear to God for the last few weeks I have seen people talk about Daniel Kaluuya playing Fred Hampton and in my mind that made no sense because they look nothing alike. Come to find out I've been visualizing FRED HAMMOND in my head all this time. 🥴
