Hi!

Mekhi is a young scholar who is known for his mannerisms and humbling presence. Mekhi loves to play board games, he enjoys playing games on his iPad with friends and family, and he likes to build with his Legos. Mekhi also enjoys action figures in which he likes to collect. Basketball is his number one go to he loves playing. He also enjoys competing and practicing his skills with his cousins. Mekhi often mentions how he wants to master the game and be the next "Basketball Superstar!" Mekhi has a photo of his father in high school when he was on the Basketball Team. He said that it motivates him. Since Mekhi's father has been deceased, he has been taught to create memories, make great use of his time, and focus on the important things. Mekhi wanted his story told and shared with other children, so they will know how to turn grief into "Good Grief".
