In this elegant,
practical book, Angel Kyodo Williams combines the universal wisdom of Buddhism
with an inspirational call for self-acceptance and community empowerment.
Written by a woman who grew up facing the challenges that confront African
Americans every day, Being Black teaches us how a "warrior-spirit" of truth
and responsibility can be developed into the foundation for real happiness and
personal transformation. With her eloquent, hip, and honest perspective,
Williams - a Zen priest, social activist, and entrepreneur - shares personal
stories, time-tested teachings, and simple guidelines that invite readers of
all faiths to step into the freedom of a life lived with fearlessness and
grace.
