30 Affirmations for African American Boys Growing Up Without Their Fathers

Studies suggest, African American boys being raised in homes where their fathers are absent, are more likely to use drugs, drop out of school, or commit a crime, than boys being raised in homes where their fathers are present. Therefore, the demand for solid role models, mentors and surrogate fathers is vital to the survival of children and teens who are being affected by fatherlessness.

In his first volume, Raymond Smith addresses the problem, and answers the call to create a difference in the lives of black boys, who are forced to grow up without the love and guardianship of their fathers. You'll see forgiveness and healing expressed through spoken word, short stories and weekly challenges on every page.
