Another day in the life of:
(Picking up theater tickets at a box office)
TICKET AGENT:
Is your name really Kenneth Cole?
ME: It is.
TICKET AGENT:
I used to wear his stuff when I was cooler.
ME: So did I.
TICKET AGENT:
Is he still alive?
ME: I believe so.

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, I want to remember, reflect on, and celebrate the iconic #NelsonMandela. He inspired an entire generation and was a beacon of hope for so many.
I had the honor of working with him in our “We All Have AIDS” campaign in 05’. #ForeverInspired
