Their recent meeting is not the first time they have crossed paths. In March 2023, they met in person for the first time at the La Mole Convention, where the actor, following the success of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” interacted with fans.

It was at this event that Ms. Feliciana introduced him to the intricacies of her handcrafted work using a traditional waist loom. This interaction resulted in a profoundly emotional moment between them, which they later shared on social media.
