Helping Black Boys Find the Missing Piece
It's not impossible yet there are some unique challenges that occur along the journey.
“Today we had a program at school, and most of the little boys had their fathers with them. How come I don’t 14 have a father to attend programs with me?”
As early as 2nd and 3rd grade, Black boys begin to notice a very clear and obvious piece missing in their lives; their fathers. It's not an easy conversation for mothers or families to have. However, how we have the conversation is important to the perceptions that Black boys will begin to develop about the role of Black men and women in their lives.
