Yes, I'm only 1/4 Chinese, but understand I grew up in a Chinese home with my half Chinese dad and his Chinese family who are my family, in Jamaica. And yes, this Chinese new year, I'm feeling my Daddy, who I am very happy to say is 82. Sin Yen Kai Luk, daddy.
I am a lucky man. I am teaching a One Love poetry workshop at Miami Beach Senior High with students on Bob’s birthday. Or as Brother Bob would say, “You're the lucky one under the sun.” #BlackHistoryMonth #ReggaeMonth #BobMarley #OneLove @PianoSlam
