Black Folk Don't - Commit Suicide

Commit Suicide Commit Suicide
Suicide usually isn?t an option for black folks, especially since there is a whole host of reasons why our mortality rate is so high, but is this always true? Given some recent high-profile suicides and apparent suicides in the black community, is there more room to have this discussion now?

The great outdoors seems to be the last frontier when it comes to Black People. What?s keeping us from engaging with Mother Nature? What?s so tough about roughing it for Black Folk? Or are we just doing it in secret, or in camouflage hats? Tune in and find out.

Quick: name a black winter sports athlete other than Shani Davis. Hm, well, you be the judge of your skills on that one. But why is it that winter sports seem to have less black folk in the mix? Is this not the case? What do you think?

Are black folk less likely to want to downward dog than other folk? Or has the culture of yoga gotten too corporate for black folk? Maybe black folk are actually doing and teaching yoga in new and unexpected places.
