Why David Miscavige Is Listening to Harlem

David Miscavige’s dedication to ensuring that Mr. Hubbard’s dream came true for the Black community inspired me to return to my home town of New York City and become an executive at the Church of Scientology Harlem.

Reflections on Religion and Respect This Mother’s Day
