Ever since moviegoers witnessed TChalla and Shuri’s handshake in Black Panther, the notable “Wakanda Forever” salute has become an informal greeting within the Black community.

What was simply a moment on the movie screen has now turned into a cultural phenomenon.
From teachers in Ohio to Manchester United players, everyone is utilizing this salute as a way to acknowledge both greatness and respect.
At the iHeart Media awards, both Diddy and Pharrell used the lighthearted gesture to greet each other on the red carpet.

To see these two millionaires using this handshake is both a sign of how impactful Black Panther was and the cultural relevancy of that specific scene.
Im sure we cant wait to see what other influences Black Panthers sequel will have in store for us.
