On April 2, 2024, my colleague Peter celebrated his 40th birthday. Peter had been instrumental in helping me with a major work project, and I wanted to give him something that expressed my appreciation for his support.
The African Birthday Blessing seemed perfect. I personalized it with words of gratitude, respect, and collaboration. To complete the gift, I paired it with his favorite album, Channel Orange by Frank Ocean.
Peter was truly moved by the African Birthday Blessing. He said it felt deeply personal and meaningful. He placed it on his desk as a constant reminder of the work we had done together and the strength of teamwork.
