Dom
My little brother and my best man. The kindest person of all time. Dom would give the shirt off his back to the people he loves. I’ve always tried so hard to impress him because I’ve always wanted my little brother to think that I was cool.
Chiz
I never thought I would forge another tight friendship as an adult. Alex and I met a few years ago through his wife Porsche being a good friend of Aba’s. His passion for art might be greater than my own. Alex motivates me to keep my skills sharp and continue to reach for my goals. Everyone needs a friend like Alex.
Twizz
Antione has to be the most genuine person I know. The very first time I met him, I felt a weird brotherly bond. I can only describe it as...maybe we were comrades in another lifetime.
Te’
Dionte is one of the people I wish I was closer to earlier on in my life. Not because of who he is now, but because I feel like we could’ve made each other so much better. Even though we had a late start, I’m happy about our current friendship. He is also responsible for me and Aba’s relationship so I’m sure that’s also why he’s high on my most-favorable list.
Habte
Mike and I have known each other since the sixth grade. It started off with him getting sneakers a day before me, to me now having a lot more sneakers than him. As much as we can laugh about ourselves and how we have grown, I don’t think I have ever heard him speak negatively about anyone. Mike always made me second guess myself with his unwarranted advice. He sends me back to the drawing board and in a world of “yes men” I value this attribute of Mike the most.
Khahn
Ngockhanh is the first person outside of my blood relatives who I know I have genuine unconditional love for. I’m sure we have gotten on each other’s nerves more than anyone else in our lives. But, whenever I need my brother, he has always been there for me.
Bay Bay
My relationship with Phil is the longest standing friendship I have. Every time we are with each other, we are dying laughing. We have gotten through so many storms together, as brothers. We have been best friends since we were pre-teens, and I don’t see that ever changing.
Vic
I’m the oldest of my siblings so I’ve never had a big brother. The first time I met Vic he treated me like a little brother. He gave me confidence when I doubted myself and (outside of Pharrell) I look up to him more than anybody.
