Dear RainbowUCT
Over the past month I couldn’t help but have intense feelings of nostalgia; suddenly the reality has set in that my time as RainbowUCT Chairperson has come to an end. I have no hard feelings about this fact because like all processes in life there is a start and an inevitable end and this end is gladly welcomed. This timely end has given me a chance to reflect on the year that was, how I have grown as an individual and it has also allowed me to evaluate my identity as a black gay man.
RainbowUCT has been an emotional rollercoaster but like all true leaders I have had to put aside my emotions when work needed doing. I have forged many great friendships over the past year but more importantly I also acquired critics, frenemies and plain and simple enemies who have all kept me on my toes. All of these I appreciate as they have kept me grounded and ensured that I did not lose sight of the goals I had set out to achieve at the beginning of the year for RainbowUCT.
