Dear Black Boy,

Please take your education seriously - before it's taken away from you. Please see Black girls as equals and partners. Please work today with other POC to build an equitable future for us all. Please read book, write stories, create poetry, sing songs, dance, paint, and love with joy. Do everything with a full heart. Be afraid but do it anyway. Cry when you feel like it. Black Men need to be human, too.
