Roger Gracie vs. Kyra Gracie on the 64 Squares!! I wanna t-shirt of this!!
As an issue of violence, I had to write about my experience as a father in the shadow of the murder ot Trayvon Martin
When Trayvon Martin was shot and killed, I refused to read about it. I didn’t follow up online and I didn’t watch any TV coverage about it. I ignored Twitter streams with the hashtag #trayvonmartin.
It wasn’t because I didn’t care. It was because I cared too much. I didn’t look because I was in denial. Trayvon’s photos look like many of the photos of my son. Smiling and playing football, in the house with his family — it was heartbreaking, far too heartbreaking for me to digest when it first happened. It wasn’t until the middle of the week when a co-worker asked me what I thought about the situation that I really started to have to soak it in. It brought up a lot of emotions, a lot of pain. This is the Emmet Till of my son’s generation. This is a terrorizing time for Black fathers. READ FULL STORY HERE

Rapper T-KASH COMPLETES Oakland Marathon for the cause of Nonviolence
As our friendship evolved he got serious about his health. He asked me for my help. I gave him a baseline methodology that I use and he took it 110% serious. Over time he started adding his own research and ideas into his path and now this man just ran the Oakland Marathon!!!
Not only did he do it. He did it to bring awareness to the epidemic of gun violence in the city he loves so much. This guy used to run the streets in his youth getting into trouble. Now he RUNS the streets as a rapper in search of peace. So many rappers out there TALK about doing something to be an example to the youth. Well here is one who keeps his words to the kids. Here is one who does not hide behind the false images of being a killer, a fake revolutionary, or a lover of ignorance. Here is one who shows up to help when no press is around. Here is one who puts is work, but does not always ask that his name be mentioned.
But I have to say his name today. I promise you will be seeing a lot more from him artistically and within his community doing positive things- very soon!
Everybody in the HHCF is proud of T-KASH for his dedication to fitness and nonviolence. I encourage you to follow him on twitter @TKASHFOREVER !
