“The One-Heart Way”
She was shook! But Sensei Kenny had her back. She also hopped off the Lanai immediately after this photo op. Fam since the days of Isshinryu Karate. We go waaaaaay back. Harlem in Honolulu.

Breathe x Learning, History
Our film poster was sitting in front of this eye-catching artwork that I was able to borrow for a backdrop. The acrylic on canvas painting by David Klamen was inspired by a photograph of a steel mill in Gary Indiana.
Through the festival (@garyblackfilmfest), I learned about the incredible Dr. Bernard C. Watson. In a documentary about his life he shared that his father had the highest paying job a black man could have in a steel mill at that time and that his father later died of cancer as it was common for men that did that type of work. I was fortunate enough meet Dr. Watson and I shared with him that my grandfather died of black lung disease from working in Alabama coal mines…
We’ve been trying to breathe for a long time…
Thank you, Gary, for having us.

There is so much talk of disclosure, space exploration, and travel, but are we even capable of being stewards of the cosmos if we haven’t figured out how to be peaceful cosmopolitans right here at home?

She was the first person I saw when I walked through the door at this year’s @garyblackfilmfest, and her welcome was so warm and heartfelt that she filled my tank. Everything else was extra. She reminds me of my aunt Jean so much, too. 😢 I’m so grateful.

She sent me a text a month ago that said, “Let’s celebrate your birthday in the GI” This wasn’t the 1st time I’ve had a birthday in GI and God willing it won’t be the last. The people of Gary Indiana are incredibly wonderful. Get to @garyblackfilmfest
and feed you soul. Love her.
