Kippah-ed While Black: KWB- A Monthly Opinion Column in the Forward

If you don’t know, now you know I’m writing a monthly column for The Forward entitled, Kippah-ed While Black. It’s intention is to draw attention to issues in the lives of African American Jews, through my lens.

As Kippah-ed While Black continues, it will keep probing tough topics in Black Jewish relations from the perspective of African American Jews. I invite you to read both pieces and check back into the Forward each month for other installments. 

And yes, eventually we will talk about food. 🙂  I do want to talk about to lifting people up, but the 

Gotta get back to work. I have a recipe I’m developing that will change to your Passover game 🙂
