Great article, EJ!

Absolutely great piece, EJ!
You have a rare ability to combine deep background information (that few other reporters seem to be able to get…or do the hard work, like you, to get) with perceptive story telling to produce an article that captures your subject in way that offers depth, unique insights, and color (like this one on Mukuba as well as your one a few weeks ago on Cooper, etc.). Your talent and hard work results in an absolutely great read that evokes a combination of information and emotion to produce a feeling of better knowing the subject and rooting for them – While I can appreciate Mukuba’s football skills from the X’s and O’s in other articles…your piece has enabled me to see and appreciate him as a person and his incredible journey.
Thank you – It is articles like this where I finish them and feel both smarter and emotionally moved (which is rare with most reporting)…and it makes me even more of an Eagles fan, and definitely more of a Mukuba fan! Kudos to you and keep up the excellent work!

EJ,
Thank you for making my day. We often take so much for granted in life. This young man and his family suffered events most of us could not begin to relate to. And it never stopped them. I wish all the success to him and his family. Maybe next time you can write a story about his mother, that would be story I would love to hear ! Thank you again!

What a magnificent story, and a beautiful job telling it.
Hard to believe there are some who hate the idea of people seeking a better life in our country. This is what it’s all about.

EJ,
It is good to remind ourselves of the ability of America to allow a hard working immigrant gain success. Thanks for the story.
