Keynote Speaker
Dr. Sujan "Supreme Understanding" Dass is a community activist and expert on what we call "the struggle." A lifelong resident of America's ghettoes, the author has been involved in the rap game, the drug game, the street hustle game, the pimping game, before advancing the many "legit" games most hustlers never learn. The author has amassed a number of academic degrees to supplement the "hands-on" learning mentioned above, ranging from a Bachelor's degree in History to a Doctorate in Education with at-risk youth. He has also traveled the globe, researching, organizing, and conducting lectures, workshops, and motivational speeches. His travels have brought him to hundreds of cities across the U.S., as well as international locations in Ghana, India, Mexico, Eastern and Western Europe, the Caribbean, Thailand, and Japan. Supreme Understanding's ability to combine intellectual awareness, with insight from the "real world" of America's ghettoes, has made him a staunch critic of the many failed measures to reach our urban youth. After studying the weaknesses of dozens of programs, policies, and philosophies, the author realized something else was needed.
Through a combination of book knowledge and street wisdom, the author arrived at a set of guidelines any man could use to survive and achieve true success in an environment that normally rewards no one. By infusing these lessons into commentaries and tales that would appeal to the mind of the urban reader (and non-reader), How to Hustle and Win represents the guide to these principles.
