I Am Black Success®

Prince Daniels Jr. is an author, motivational speaker, inspirational fitness trainer and an expert in the areas of fitness, meditation and holistic health.

We talk about several things, including the biggest lessons he learned playing football in the N.F.L. and what stuck with him most that helped to mold him into the man he’s become today.  We discussed his pivot from football to where he is today with mindfulness and meditation; and he shares some all around great gems to help us get our minds right.

Brandon Frame is a renaissance man with a social conscience and a global perspective. Brandon founded The Black Man Can, a non-profit dedicated to celebrating, education and inspiring boys and men of color.

"Once you make an observation, you have an obligation.” MK Asante

Boys and men of color need to see positive images of themselves and have their stories told.

Define yourself, redefine the world: The Guided Journal for Boys and Men of Color with empowering words, motivating experiences and insightful quotes.

Being a man means being responsible, operating your ego from a place of love not a place of pride and selfish decisions.

Being a black man or black boy is not monolithic — we walk and talk in different and varied spaces and narratives.

Black men have a responsibility to acknowledge their privileges as men and use it to elevate the voices of Black women and girls.

Men have a tendency to suffer in silence but there is an opportunity to create community to heal, foster restoration and build accountability.

Can you do a single or double windsor knot? The 1,000 Ties initiative shows Black men and boys how.
