QUOTATIONS OF "BLACK"
"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race..."

"Most of my fortitude to continue doing the work comes from the moral outrage I feel about the injustices that Black people endure disproportionately daily."
- N. Abdul-Wakil
"In the end, what matters is not skin shade but pan-African consciousness. Loving your complexion, your nose, lips, hair length and texture, no matter what the politics or trends decide, and simply be. That's the problem with us (African folks). We're still learning how to love ourselves. So used to glorifying others and putting others first..."

Saturday, January 9th, 2010 I went to Atlantic City for the Action Martial Arts Magazine Hall of Honors 2010. It was an awesome event and I as honored with the "Execllence In Teaching Martial Arts" award. What a way to start the New Year! I want to thank Grand Master Carlito Lanada, Kyud Bill Kossman and Kyudai Alice Kossman, Kyud Roberto Lao, Master Troy Barcia, my students, my family, and my friends for all their support and help whom without this achievement would not have been possible.
