I had the honor of meeting the legendary Cicely Tyson in 2009 during a media tour as a National Spokesperson for the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. That unforgettable eight-hour day sparked a friendship filled with meaningful phone calls and even led to one of the greatest honors of my life—being the keynote speaker at The Cicely Tyson Community School of Performing and Fine Arts in New Jersey, seated right beside her. I’ve encountered many remarkable people in my journey, but Ms. Tyson was truly one of a kind. Words cannot capture the depth of her impact on me. Today, on what would have been her 100th birthday, I reflect on her unwavering passion for educating communities about stroke awareness—a passion that continues to inspire me to give more, do more, and be more for my own community. Rest well, Queen Tyson. Your light, grace, and legacy will forever guide us. With love and gratitude, Doc
