Our Black boys do NOT have to fail silently in school… They just need people that genuinely care about them succeeding, proper education, encouragement, support, and resources. We’ve got to do our part to make sure that they succeed and that they have the necessary tools to excel in school and college. We can’t afford to let our young Black Kings give up! The amount of young Black men that drop out of school is alarming. Our young Black men are innovative, smart, intelligent, creative, and SO much more!

Note: If you’re a parent, and/or guardian, teacher, school counselor, mentor, etc… I encourage you to be mindful of what you see. We’ve got to be genuinely involved if we want our children to succeed. What can we do? Ask them how they’re doing in school. Ask to see their schoolwork and homework. Check their grades… Review their report card and discuss their grades with them. Have open communication with their teachers. Make sure that they’re studying at home the way that they’re supposed to be. Talk to your children! Ask them what they like about school and what they don’t like. Are they being bullied by other students? What kind of relationships do they have with their teachers. Are they getting the help that they need at school? If your child is struggling, get them the extra help that they need. Teach them to have self-respect and self-discipline. You get my point… Be involved on EVERY level… It’s imperative!

We have an obligation to mold, shape, and give them proper guidance… Are you doing your part? Are you giving them your VERY best? Are you helping them to achieve greatness, or are you hindering them, too? Young Black male youth matter, and they need to know that we care!

Light-Skinned Women And The Black Man is an unapologetic article written by Stephanie Lahart. She speaks boldly about how African American men, for the most part, desire light skin black women over dark skin black women. Stephanie Lahart believes that black women and black girls are exquisitely beautiful in EVERY shade, but why don’t some black men feel the same way? Why can’t they appreciate and celebrate ALL shades of melanin? Why are some black men so insensitive and blatantly disrespect dark skinned women all over social media?

It’s 2018, and I all you have to do is go on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc… and you’ll come across silly things such as #TeamLighSkin vs. #TeamDarkSkin… REALLY?! Some black brothas need a reality check. If you’re an African American man, and you’re one of those people claiming that you’re WOKE, but you disrespect black women, you are lost.

Listen to Stephanie Lahart as she speaks openly about this shameful issue that has been affecting black people for the longest. Colorism within the black community is real, and unfortunately, it continues to divide black people because we’re keeping this crap up amongst ourselves. If our black men really understood our Black History, I would hope that they’d strive to do better. This is NOT a game… Black communities will never reach its full potential with this kind of division. Wake up! Colorism affects us more than you realize… Educate yourself!

I wrote this inspiring and empowering Black love poem to celebrate the true love between a Black King and his Black Queen. This Black love poem is about a husband and wife that’s been married for over 17 years. This POWERFUL Black love is MY story between me and my husband. I hope my poem inspires other African American marriages, too! And if you’re a single Black man or Black woman… I hope this gives you an idea of what to strive for in a relationship. Real Black Love is POWERFUL. It’s NOT complicated. It’s NOT filled with drama. It’s doesn’t consist of emotional, verbal, or physical abuse. Black Love is BEAUTIFUL.

A relationship does NOT have to be complicated. To me, that’s a personal choice! You have to get sick and tired of being sick and tired. You have to get to a point where you clearly know what you want, and don’t settle for less than what you know you deserve. You have to set the standard from the beginning in how that woman or that man will treat you. Real Black love does exist! It amazes me how many people I hear talking about how there’s no good Black men or how there’s no good Black women. I’m here to tell you, that’s NOT true.

The problem is this… You keep giving your attention, time, and love to females and males that don’t deserve it, period. I encourage you to slow down and REALLY pay attention to the type of men and women that you’re drawn to. I don’t want to get long- winded, so I’ll just leave you with this… Above everything else, you have to genuinely love yourself, first! When you genuinely love who YOU are, you won’t be willing to accept just ANYTHING. I know you read and hear a lot about self-love, and it’s true… self-love is everything! This goes for men and women… Men aren’t exempt! If you’re currently married and/or in a relationship, I encourage you to evaluate it. Be honest with yourself… Are you in a healthy relationship, or did you or are you settling? And if so, WHY?
