Have you ever been to a city that has a ChinaTown? I remember visiting San Francisco for a business conference and walking through ChinaTown.

Ethnic enclaves are composed of people typically of the same ethnicity, similar cultures and often languages living in close proximity to each [...]

This is the 100th year of women gaining their right to vote with the passage of the 19th amendment.

That is what it was like for American women until the passage of the 19th amendment, which took place on August 18, 1920. As we celebrate Women’s [...]

Imagine being torn away from your family and placed with people you don’t know and who don’t necessarily even speak the same language as you? That is what happened to Indigenous (Native) children beginning in 1860. Our indigenous brothers and sisters have gone through hell and back all in the name of making them assimilate into a culture that was not one of their own choosing.

This past Saturday, October 19th, 2019 I along with several other amazing insightful human beings had an opportunity to share our ideas with the Jacksonville community.

All the talks recognized that we [...]
