Ok so we take busses & boats to see the King of Akwamu who appoints me, King Nana Akoto III Odopon. I’ve got “Life Of Brian” flashing through my head but quickly realize the significance & accept the position wholeheartedly. I’ve got some work to do for the place of my origin.

In my followup to Black Dynamite, 2022’s Outlaw Johnny Black is a direct tribute to Poitier’s Buck And The Preacher in the family friendly spirit of the Poitier buddy films. I want to give new generations the feeling I had growing up watching this true giant of class & authority.

I loved to fight more than ANYTHING & Karate gave me an excuse. Already 6’1at age14, after this Harlem tournament-early 80’s, I was only permitted to fight men’s division. At 15, I beat a top heavyweight who became my sponsor and fought as a paid adult for several years.
