Description
In the heartfelt pages of Rise and Shine: Empowering Affirmations for Young Men of Color, we embark on a crucial mission to support and uplift the mothers and grandmothers raising these remarkable individuals. In a world where their skin color is unjustly perceived as a threat, it is imperative to provide guidance and strength.
As a single mother who courageously raised three children, two of whom are African American young men, sleepless nights became a familiar companion. The constant worry about their safety when they ventured out with friends weighed heavily on my heart.
The unimaginable trauma that our young men of color endure is terrifying, leaving mothers and grandmothers on their knees, praying for their protection and well-being.
Within these affirmations lies the power to instill belief in our young boys, young adults, and young men, even when the world may deem them unworthy. They are reminded that their worth stems from being created in the image of our Lord and Savior, gifted with a rich heritage. They are descendants of kings and queens, carrying a legacy of greatness within them.
You, young men of color, are inherently worthy. Embrace these affirmations as a guiding light, reminding you of your immense value, strength, and potential. May they empower you to rise above adversity, defy stereotypes, and pave your path toward a future filled with success and fulfillment.
