DETROIT
JOHNNY
Detroit is my home. Everybody can call it home. And it's
a wonderful place where people with any color can work
together.
But in Detroit, I feel like in sports I have to be Hispanic to play
baseball, or I have to be Black to play basketball. As a Hispanic
and Black person, I shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable, or
have different privileges than other Hispanic or Black people.
But in PeacePlayers, they changed that for me. They made me
feel comfortable playing with anybody with different cultures
or different religions, and it turned me into a better leader than
I've ever been before.
