Because my life is personnified by the random interruption, I'll interrupt this love fest of Cave Canem with the love fest of last weekend ... here is me and Kylar Broaddus, my co-board-member of the National Black Justice Coalition having a moment of love at our semi-annual Board Retreat and Strategic Planning meeting.

Not a member of the National Black Justice Coalition? Get with the program. Get engaged. Get active.
