About Me

THE BALTIMORE CITY PAPER'S BEST SELF PUBLISHED AUTHOR OF 2005.An artist all of his life, Carlos Muhammad uses his passion and gift for writing and drawing to express many of his most intimate thoughts about Black life in America.Muhammad was born and raised in Niagara Falls, New York. He attended undergrad and graduate school at Buffalo State College in Buffalo, New York. During his college years, Muhammad became an advocate for change. He used his weekly school newspaper column and leadership positions in student and community organizations as vehicles to convey messages concerning Black People and humanity.Muhammadâ€™s increasing frustration at the many injustices and lack of self-love, respect and knowledge within the Black community served as a catalyst for Caressed Spirits. Centering on the themes Freedom, Justice and Equality; Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding; and Love Peace and Happiness, Caressed Spirits unfolds Muhammadâ€™s reflections about life. Muhammad has lectured and delivered poetry on various college campuses and venues throughout Buffalo and surrounding New York areas, the Baltimore/DC area and Philadelphia.
