PREORDER DANGEROUS LOVE AND SUPPORT PEACEPLAYERS USING BASKETBALL TO BRIDGE DIVIDES, CHANGE PERCEPTIONS, AND BUILD STRONG LEADERS.
For the next two weeks, I am donating all of my portion of the book sales to PeacePlayers. That means if you preorder Dangerous Love in the next two weeks, you are supporting peace efforts all around the world! PeacePlayers has been affected by COVID-19 in ways that are difficult for the youth they serve. The basketballs have had to stop dribbling, but PeacePlayers hasn't stopped. They need your help more now than ever! Hear more about why I chose PeacePlayers below!
PeacePlayers is an organization, who uses the power of sport to unite, educate and inspire young people to create a more peaceful world. They offer sport programming, peace education, and leadership development to those living in communities in conflict. They challenge the hate that is driven by the fear of our differences. They bridge divides between people through the game of basketball and they develop young leaders who help to change perceptions.
Listen in to the most recent episode of the Dangerous Love Podcast as Duha, a Palestinian PeacePlayers participant and Toot, an Israeli PeacePlayers participant, take us on a journey through their 10-15 year experience with PeacePlayers International in Jerusalem. They have exhibited Dangerous Love in ground breaking ways, which gives us hope and inspiration for practicing it in our lives when it is the hardest.
HOOPING WITH THE ENEMY
Chad Ford joins co-founder of PeacePlayers, Brendan Tuohey and Karen Doubilet, Executive Director of PeacePlayers for this episode of the Dangerous Love Podcast. We discuss the origins of PeacePlayers, starting as a small program in South Africa and Northern Ireland several years ago. PeacePlayers has since bloomed into an incredibly impactful organization that has roots in areas of conflict all over the world. The experience of working with PeacePlayers has changed ME and has been a great influence for my new book Dangerous Love.
DANGEROUS RECONCILIATION IN BROOKLYN
Today I had the amazing opportunity to catch up with Sally Nnamani, Director of PeacePlayers Brooklyn. She recounts her journey from Nigeria to New York City to Belfast to Brooklyn to help lead a reconciliation effort in the USA. She talks gender, race, economics and how to create a more equitable society through Dangerous Love.

PeacePlayers has been a part of my life for several years. It has been a major inspiration for Dangerous Love as I tell many stories about my experiences with the organization throughout the book. As explained in the above video, when you buy Dangerous Love through the link above, the portion of the book sales I receive will go towards PeacePlayers to support their continued efforts in building peace all around the world. I would not be who I am today, and I would not believe in peace, reconciliation, and dangerous love like I do if it were not for PeacePlayers and all of the amazing people who are a part of the organization. More great content to come! Follow us on social media!
Get in the know with Dangerous Love and PeacePlayers and we'll send you a free copy of a special PeacePlayers chapter in Dangerous Love! A riveting story that is moving and inspiring.
