I've met many good men in my life, each of whom have helped me in their own way, but this episode is about the life of Elmo Brandon, a wonderful black man who worked for three generations of my family. Elmo played multiple roles in our lives, from running the warehouse to driving my youngest sister to school. His kindness, humility, and strong presence made him an integral part of our family. Despite facing life's challenges, including racism and illness, Elmo's gentle spirit left a lasting impact on all of us.

Lovely story..I remember long ago when we were in Iran, you mentioned him. Thank you for the backstory of this precious man.
What a sweet and precious memory, Akasha. I’m so glad you had an Elmo in your life. Few of us do.
What a sweet and precious memory, Akasha. I’m so happy you had an Elmo in your life. I certainly have not been so blessed.
