#BLACKNOTBLIND: Critical Observations In Crucial Times

This is a special anniversary edition with all new material as well as the original book. #BLACKNOTBLIND is an honest, hard hitting social commentary on race relations in the United States of America. The book is a compelling look at four themes from the perspective of a Black man grappling with his perceived place in post racial USA. The four themes are 1) Black in the South describes what it's like when a brother that was born and raised in Chicago moves to SC; 2) Black at school is a reflective look at what it was like being a Black student attending a predominately white university; 3) Black at work chronicles trials and tribulations of being the only Black male in a predominately white work environment; 4) Black not blue demonstrates how interconnected Black men and the criminal justice system are even when the Black man has never been arested. When combined all of these themes and experiences makes one want to shout to the world "I am Black Not Blind"!

M.A.N.-U.P. Master And Nurture (your) Unlimited Potential; How To Coach A Male Into Manhood

M.A.N.-U.P. uses the game of basketball as an analogy for helping males become men. Most young males understand the game of basketball and rules that comprise it regardless of whether or not they are actually on a basketball team.

M.A.N.-U.P. is also my attempt at repairing the damage that had been and is being done when we continue to oppress ourselves and women by asking each other to "man-up" with only a negative frame of reference in which to operate from. Use this book as a guide to setting up your game plan for having honest, frank, and loving conversations with males about what it means to be a conceptual man in the 21st century.

For My Sons & Brothers

Eighteen men were asked to identify and share the one life lesson they believe would help males grow into productive, responsible men, who in turn will help the next generation of males to do the same. Each man wrote a letter addressed to their sons and brothers with the belief that all males that read these letters possess the same potential for success as their own sons and bothers.

This book is a must read if you are looking for insight into men. It is a must read if you are looking for ways to help men become successful. It is a must read if you are looking for proof that men do care for and about other men as well as the legacies they leave behind.
