Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

My concern is that the leadership in black community is always portrayed as Christian, economically savvy, and aspiring to be Ivy League. I grew up in a Crips neighborhood and found that Buddhist peace offered me a way out. Today I teach Buddhism and would like to say that, "I too am black in America."
