This Summer, we're throwing back episodes that still are relevant today! Episode 13 with Daphnie Glenn captures how important starting the conversation is, no matter how diffult they may be! Daphnie's courage to write a book on her heart titled "Brown Boy" has helped and continues to help families discuss race and what it meeans to be black in this country.

Previous show notes: [Convo starts 7:11] Reading is fundamental and as children we all had one favorite book we’ll never forget! In 2017, the black community has experienced too many deaths of young brown boys and it’s time for us as a people to begin talking to our youth about how the world views them. Daphnie Glenn said enough is enough,put her pen to paper and wrote a book titled Brown Boy while beginning a movement for everyone to #StarttheConversation. Listen to Daphnie talk about the journey towards writing this book, how YMPs can get involved with our youth and all the great things she has in store to continue to empower our youth in informing them about how they can be great in this world!
