My experience in the public school system working with abjudicated young men has taught me how unfair our civic institutions are. Black parents expect the public schools and judicial systems will treat our back boys fairly- unfortunately, this is not the case. They are labeled and put in special education classes faster than boys of any other race. The disparity between black boys and other races graduating from high school and college is alarming.

I wrote the Five Pillars Leadership Parent Guide to help Black Boys become successful in today's society. My goal is to give them a toolbox they can use to navigate life successfully.
