Cheetah The Nelson Vail's Story + Fight Back

Nelson Vails' story is a triumph over almost insurmountable odds. Nelson was the youngest of 10 children growing up in the Harlem projects and worked as a New York City bicycle messenger to support his family. Nicknamed "The Cheetah" because he was the fastest cat in the jungle, Nelson rode furiously while working, trained in Central Park after work and raced locally on weekends.  He was thrust on to the world stage, represented the USA at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, where he won the silver medal in the individual 1000-meter Match Sprints, behind countryman Mark Gorski.  Becoming a pioneer for the African-American cycling community, this documentary explores the beginnings of his life in Harlem and his impact on the future generation of cyclists worldwide.

I was fortunate enough to attend the afternoon opening matinee with Fight Back, an organization teaching mixed martial arts, the philosophy that sport has the power to involve individuals and transform communities.

Wandering at Chåteau Rouge

Last year I went to Chåteau Rouge to get my African Fabrics and thought it was such a great day I would go wander the nieghborhood.

It certainly was not without its sense of style, creativity or culture

All these individuals selling items from bags on the street...everything from nuts to eggplant to these dried fish from the Congo... and the Police would come and they would pick up their bags and scatter ... then 5 minutes later as soon as the police left they were back...
