My Black Boys told me to tell you…
<p>This weekend I had the opportunity to zoom with my mentoring group of all black boys. Although we were supposed to discuss a book we’ve been reading, I knew it was going to be a conversation about the recent events around race relations in our country. The boys needed the space. And, quite frankly, so did I.</p>
<p>I haven’t been able to put together the words to explain the complexity of chaos that exists in the country right now. We’re in the midst of multiple crises and the United States has so many bad habits, coupled with poor leadership, I know it is not prepared to learn any lessons. I’m a man. I’ve seen this before. I have calluses that shield some of the pain of these fresh wounds. But, if I am at a loss for words, how must these black boys feel and be processing the confusion in their soul? We talked and a space was created for them to just be boys who are trying to understand.</p>
