Summary:  Author and ordained Zen priest Angel Kyodo Williams shows Black Americans how to develop a "warrior-spirit" of truth and responsibility that can lead to happiness and personal transformation. The principles and tools she offers provide a framework for addressing the African American community's unique worries, hopes, challenges, and expectations. Williams uses an eloquent, hip, and honest approach to share personal stories, time-tested teachings, and simple guidelines that invite readers of all faiths to discover how to step into the freedom of a life lived with fearlessness, grace, and fluidity. "People of color are especially in need of new ways and new answers to the separation and fear we face each day," Kyodo Williams writes. "It wouldn't be a stretch to say that as black people, more than most groups in this country, we live our daily lives with the distinct taste of fear in our mouths. While the principles offered here are not an antidote to the underlying reasons for our fears, they can give us a different way to approach them." Dubbed "the most vocal and most intriguing African-American Buddhist in America," by Library Journal, angel Kyodo williams is a maverick spiritual teacher, advisor and friend to many. She is the founder of urbanPEACE and guiding teacher of New Dharma.
