This news about Cheslie Kryst is so sad. I just watched the clip with her & Denzel Washington when she asked what would he want his superpower to be & his response was “To heal”. I pray any pain Cheslie might’ve felt is healed & she is at peace. Check on your people everyone 🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/Tp547ROlrA
