Summer is almost here & also my next speaking gig is around the corner . . .The Mixed Roots Film & Lit Festival in L.A. on June 12 -13. If you want to hear me register for free at http://www.mxroots.org/Home/register
The event will be held in the Little Tokyo section of Los Angeles and is very close to the Amtrak station which is also a red line station of the L.A. subway. So I hope any of you out there can join me! I will be speaking at a workshop hosted by my friend Yayoi Winfrey who is a producer and author I knew from my days writing for IMDiversity.com

Omg! You know yayoi? Long story short:
I was watching the travel channel and saw a show about Asian culture. I am a black woman. I wondered what it might be like to live in Korea. So I googled "black and Asian relations". I found you site. Read some and saw your post with yayoi's name.
A few years back (almost 8), I wrote a poem that was published in yayoi's anthology "brothers and others". I spoke with her via phone but never met n person. When I saw her name on your site, I thought what a small world!! Please please send her my regards!!
Your website is great. You will be a major instrument to breaking sterotypes and forming new communities... I hate that neither asian races nor black races fully seethe beuty and similarities and now the need for us to befriend one another. Its deep. I think that you are taking a bold stance and i support you fully. Black wonen will soon be extinct. Our cultures are more similar than not. It only makes sense, onve stupid stereotypes are illiminated. I guess it starts with us. You get props for ypur vision. Thank you. All the best...
If you would, please tell yayoi I asked of her? I canbe reached at "ifgodwz1ovus@aol.com" I'll keep up with your site and spread the word. All the best my brother ;) and thank you.

Omg! You know yayoi?!?! Loony story short, I was watching travel channel and saw a show about Beijing. This lead me to thinking what it would be like to live in an Asian culture. I'm a black woman. So I googled black asian relations. Found your site and just started reading.
I saw yayoi's name and recalled it bc I wrote a poem that she published a few years back in an anthology she headed called "brothers and others". If this is the same woman, the world is too small!!! Please please tell her "hello and all the best". My name is stephanie. Ifgodwz1ovus@aol.com
I am so floored right now. Btw, your website is awesome and may very well be the instrument of absolving so many myths and stereotypical misconceptions. You are doing good work. I pray it is blessed tenfold my brother :)
