Luke Louis

I'll never forget the dread with which I marked my 15th birthday. There was too much strife & too little clarity over a way forward. I was planning to end it all. But music stepped in. The glorious soulful refrains of such stars as @firstladyofsong , @sinatra, @itstonybennett, @dianakrall & @staceykentofficial intervened to keep me going...

A decade later, & with the close of my journey as an English Literature undergraduate upon me, a cloud of uncertainty looms over me again. But this time, with such folks as @tashasturgess, @arunnawin, @theemirstrikesback, @johnchowkeanu , @kankshac , @the_batzilla , @sarahalexkangweilin @ari.elle.e , @kloudyclown @meowmeowproject , @nyalimusic , @alemayzing, @rosie.mcgowan & @elaine.mwm cheering me on, I feel strangely braver turning 25 today. Here are the highlights of my 2022. The year's moral: When we truly listen to each other, communication becomes a life-saving art. To my friends & allies, thank you for lending me your ears this year - the best 🎁 I could ask for

A BIG thank you to everyone who came out last night & spent my #birtheve with me! @ashsekaran , @singletsushi , @freyr.music it was a thrill to get to know each of you. Here's to more conversations moving forward!
