À propos de l'auteur

Deric Muhammad believes that man is given power for one reason; that is to serve others. Muhammad is an accomplished Houston-based Activist/Organizer who addresses issues on Social Justice, Black Male Development, Police Brutality, Racial Inequality and other critical issues of our time. He prides himself on being an "on the ground watchman" for Freedom, Justice and Equality for the Black community and other poor, underserved, disenfranchised people. A native Houstonian, Bro. Deric grew up on the rough streets of Northeast Houston. He was raised in an environment where drugs, gang violence, prostitution, police brutality and other social cancers were prominent. This qualifies him to address these issues based on up close and personal experiences. Like countless Black men who came before him, he changed his life through his studies as a member of the Nation of Islam. Muhammad hosts an annual "Smart'n Up" Black Male Summit that deals with the unique issues that Black men and boys face in society. In 2009 he independently produced and starred in the critically acclaimed documentary "Raising Boys: Tips for Single Moms." He recently launched a Houston-based initiative called "Project Forward" that focuses on meeting the needs of Black males. His writings have been published in many newspapers.
