picked up at Bookman's: a good read.
"I represent so many things to so many different people. In Ethiopia, I am ferengi, or 'white' because I am an American of means. In Sweden, I represent 'new Sweden,' which to them means an integrated Sweden. In America, I'm black, or African American or an immigrant; it depends. For me the labels aren't as important as the journey. I took the train from Goteborg to Switzerland, from Switzerland to Austria, and back home again. Along the way, I became a chef, a father, a husband, a mentor, and a friend. You can't take the A train to Addis Ababa but you can can take it to Red Rooster, where I'll happily make you a plate of doro wat and serve you the finest selection of Ethiopian coffees and teas."
