If you’re like us, you probably fell in love with the idea of Wakanda the first time you saw Black Panther. Turns out, we definitely weren’t the only ones.
Black Panther and Wakanda are super inspiring on several levels, which is part of the reason that star Chadwick Boseman’s passing earlier this week was so saddening. Still, his work ultimately spurred creativity and hope for many of us. Wakanda even inspired one man to decide to construct a real-life Wakanda for a price tag of $6 billion.
