Dear Black Parents…
I encourage you to love your children properly!
Give them gifts that TRULY matter.
The gift of being a positive role model.
The gift of showing them what genuine love looks and feels like.
The gift of spending quality time with them.
The gift of making them feel wanted and loved.
The gift of open and honest communication.
The gift of hearing and listening to them.
The gift of guidance, support, and friendship.
Our Black boys and Black girls
Matter, and they deserve our VERY best.
It’s up to us to raise
Empowered black children!
We’ve got to make sure that we’re investing in our children
By preparing, teaching, educating, and empowering them!
Let’s teach our children that having a good education is POWER.
Let’s teach our children that they CAN buy and own their own property.
Let’s teach our children about entrepreneurship and business.
Let’s teach our children about the importance of building and maintaining excellent credit.
Let’s teach our children about the importance of saving and investing.
Let’s teach our children to NOT be afraid to use their voice.
Let’s teach our children to respect themselves.
Let’s teach our children the importance of being accountable for their actions.
Let’s teach our children to be strong, resilient, and NOT easily influenced.
Let’s teach our children to be leaders NOT followers.
Let’s teach our children about alcohol and drug addiction.
Let’s teach our children about mental health.
Let’s teach our children the importance of eating nutritious foods, exercising, and taking care of their health.
Black fathers and Black mothers…
We’ve got to teach them!
Our children are PRICELESS.
Make a commitment to yourself that you will NOT
Mentally, physically, or emotionally abuse your children.
Make a commitment to NOT bully, belittle, or manipulate your children.
Make a commitment to break generational curses in your family.
Don’t pass on your hurt, pain, and disappointments to your children.
Give them a fair chance!
Let’s raise Black Kings and Black Queens
That represent Black Excellence!
Let’s set them up for greatness by investing
In them early on in life!
Let’s raise our children with unconditional love!
Celebrate them…
Let them know that they matter, and
That they’re important!
