I met Tochi through my brother, though our friendship was limited to FaceTime before we ever met in person. When I finally met her in New York City July 2023, any leftover curiosity I had instantly turned into admiration. From bonding over Beyoncé, Hamilton, and late night philosophical conversations to laughing endlessly together, it became even clearer just how warm, thoughtful, and special she is. By the end of that week, I knew she wasn’t just perfect for my brother; she was already family.
