'Walk with me' -- a community development effort | Yasser Payne | TEDxWilmington

Yasser Arafat Payne is the organizer of a street ethnographic research program centered on exploring notions of resilience and resiliency with the streets of Black and Brown America using an unconventional framework called, Street Participatory Action Research (Street PAR).

Dr. Payne aims to break down stereotypical barriers and images of Black and Brown people in the criminal justice system, so that transition back in the community and opportunities for upward mobility are successful. Dr. Payne’s work is centered on humanizing those in the criminal justice system and getting undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty, service providers and/or everyday residents to work more closely with those in the criminal justice system

Dr. Payne is an Associate Professor in the Department of Black American Studies at the University of Delaware.

The problem with leadership is that they keep overlooking leaders.

"...and I mean that." - What America has become? Every word has a "tail" and subtle to twisted meaning so everything needs to be double checked and confirmed to the point where clarifying the original intended meaning is more important than actual topic. FFS America - where are you going with this?
