Concerned Citizen of the World

I am a proud Black gay man well acquainted with all the "isms" of the world, but I refuse to protest the joy right out of life. In all methods of protest, I believe we have to carve out equal space for celebration and joy. As a social worker/activist, I refuse to simply chase tragedy, as I don't encourage tragic lives. Lastly, I'm the proud hubby of a New York City educator.
