R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON

We truly lost a legend yesterday. There will never be another Michael Jackson, and the magnitude of his legacy is more profound now than ever. We are all fortunate to have been the recipients of his tremendous gift. Whether you perfected the moonwalk in your kitchen, collected every album, witnessed a life-changing concert,  caught a sequined glove or simply indulged in decades of his music, we’d love to hear the mark he made on your life. The forum is open.

Blind I sends our prayers and condolences to his friends and family.

Rest in Peace
