Another legend has also gone beyond.
I'm sorry if this is how you're finding out... Benito Segura has passed away.
As an indigenous youth with lived experience, in the 1990s, against the odds, Benito co-created Dusk to Dawn, a drop in centre for street-involved youth. This program was youth-driven, peer-based, and harm reduction oriented, way before these were widely accepted practices.
I started there as a volunteer in 1997, transitioning to a youth worker, and eventually program director. Benito was the heart and soul of the program, always there with unflinching support.
Benito was a warrior with integrity, loyalty, a low tolerance for b.s. , a big heart, a calm strong presence, and a strategic mind. He applied these in becoming the first ever indigenous jiu-jitsu champion. Benito loved fiercely. He was an indisputable badass warrior.
Much of the ethics that drive my practice, I learned from Benito. I'll be forever grateful.
Condolences to his friends and family. I know his legacy will live on.

Ridiculous, ain't it? 😁
Also, true story: ate best burger ever a few minutes later.
