Dubbed “the most vocal and most intriguing African-American Buddhist in America,” by Library Journal, Rev. angel Kyodo williams is a maverick spiritual teacher, advisor and friend to many. She is the founder of urbanPEACE and its Center for Transformative Change. angel is the author of the critically acclaimed book, Being Black: Zen and the Art of Living with Fearlessness and Grace, which has been hailed as “a classic” by Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield, and “an act of love” by novelist Alice Walker.
williams is a social visionary that sees Transformative Social Change: applying inner awareness practice to broad-based social change, as America’s next great movement. Calling for a paradigm shift that “changes the WAY change is done,” angel envisions the building of a presence-centered social justice movement as the foundation for personal freedom, a just society and the healing of divisions of race, class, faith and politic.
Her work has been widely covered, including in The New York Times, Boston Globe, Ms., Essence, Village Voice and on the Oxygen Channel.
