Jaamil Oluwole-Kasako: 我从小就经历了多次失去，包括至亲的离世。这些经历让我在很小的时候就学会了自强自立，也让我对世界的苦难和失去有了更深刻的理解。我的故事并非独一无二，许多人都经历过类似的痛苦。在成长的过程中，我通过阅读和写作来逃避现实，并逐渐找到了自我疗愈的方式。我的母亲患有精神疾病，父亲也缺席我的成长，我承担了超出年龄的责任，照顾生病的家人。这些经历虽然痛苦，但也让我更加坚韧。在经历了弟弟的去世后，我辞去了工作，前往维尔京群岛，重新审视自己的人生，并创作了表演艺术作品《#Negrophobia》，以此来表达我的悲伤和经历，也作为一种疗愈的方式。我的艺术创作成为了我与家人连接的方式，让我在失去中找到了新的意义和力量。尽管我仍然会受到失去的困扰，但我相信已故的家人仍然陪伴着我，给予我支持和引导。 Nora McInerney: Jaamil的故事并非仅仅是关于失去，更是关于失去教会我们的东西。巨大的痛苦和失去会让人感觉与众不同，但实际上每个人都会经历各种各样的痛苦。在面对困境时，首先要照顾好自己，才能更好地帮助他人。Jaamil在经历了多次失去后，仍然能够积极面对生活，并通过艺术创作来表达自己的情感，这体现了他强大的韧性和对生活的热爱。他的经历也提醒我们，在生活中，我们并非孤单一人，总会有家人、朋友和支持系统陪伴在我们身边。
