About: 

Level III Nonviolence Trainer. I am the founder and Coordinator of the East Point Peace Academy, and is a trainer in Kingian Nonviolence. Born in Tokyo, Japan, I have been engaged in social change work since the age of 17, when I participated in the Interfaith Pilgrimage of the Middle Passage, a 6-month walking journey to retrace the slave route. I have since played leading roles in many movements and organizations, and have been trained by elders such as Dr. Bernard Lafayette, Joanna Macy and Rev. James Lawson. I work to empower incarcerated communities, youth and activists around the country.
