Bridging the gap between race, the inner city and health Why? What is happening in urban communities? And what can be done to change it?

Black and Brown people in America are two to six times more likely to die from health-related complications than their white peers, even when you look at people whose income is the same. You can get involved with the Hood Health Movement that is what you can do.

I was proud to call Darshan Elena Campos my friend. I met her through my work with HoodHealth. I was on a few panels that she organized and she provided a platform for me to talk about my work. Personally we connected outside of social media and talked often about the various challenges of life and how we envisioned the future. She returned to Puerto Rico and put in work around food sovereignty and indigenous matters. I just found out that she committed su***de. I am beyond words at this point. I will remember her as a caring, knowledgeable and beautiful person who I was blessed to cross in my life. May those who knew her take comfort in the many lives that she touched. Mine's included.

I often forget the influence that the Hood Health Handbook has had. Oftentimes my mental is consumed with getting done all of the 1001 projects that I have in my mind. It is important to take inventory, reflect and to do the whole metrics on things that you have already done. My righteous brother has written an incredible book entitled .thy.hustle. It expands upon a lot of the work that we presented in the Hood Health Handbook. Never in a million years had I ever dreamed that works that I have authored or edited would be cited in other books and papers. This isn’t just with the Hood Health Handbook. It has already happened with other books that I have been involved with and other books that we have published via . Our goal has always been to get the message to those who are in need of the message. That means that our books are scientifically sound yet we speak with the voice of the people. Make sure you cop my alike’s book, Heal Thy Hustle (you can find the link on his page). And if your library is missing the Hood Health Handbook (vol I & II) then correct that error! Salute again to my righteous brother Ras Asan.

Episode 13: Getting the Blessings of an Elder: The Anointing of HoodHealth by Dick Gregory

On this episode is an interview with the legendary Dick Gregory who wrote the introduction to the Hood Health Handbook. He goes into how important this work is and gives us his blessings. This interview was conducted by my alike (go give him a follow and then come back). I remember when my alike said we got Dick Gregory to write the opening for the Hood Health Handbook. I was amped af! For those who have been following and listening to me George Washington Carver and Dick Gregory are two of my esteemed ancestors who directly impacted me on the road to health and wellness. I hope you enjoy the words that he left. Also again, if you ain't yet pick up the book that he himself said was a "a great book of wisdom" aka the Hood Health Handbook (vol I and II) cop it like yesterday.
