“It has been said that being a warrior creates a philosopher. Dr. Barrion Staples brings his mastery of the living principles of Taekwondo to his philosophy of living together in a multi-cultural, multi-racial society. Having gotten to know Barrion as a friend and a “brother” and having the uplifting experience of attending his Race and Ethics seminars, I have seen his unwavering commitment to the intrinsic belief that all people should be treated in an equitable manner and how we can only be the best we can be when the least of us can be the best they can be.”

Commentary from seminar on Cultural Competency and Being Culturally Responsive Presented by Rev. Dr. Barrion Staples
