Download or read book Yo Bro Strive Toward Excellence written by "Dr. Nay" Renee N. White, Ed.D. and published by eBooks2go. This book was released on 2022-08-12 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During these unfortunate times of racial turbulence and the unveiling of devastating societal inequities, such as economic, educational and health disparities, young people require social-emotional guidance to cognitively process what is unraveling around them in their community, country and world. More than ever, it is crucial that young adults of color are provided with the encouragement to understand their individual cultural being, and to facilitate their thinking processes about their stance on social justice issues like Black Lives and school violence. As an African American woman, mother of two successful adult sons, and college professor with 30+ years of experience as a literacy and cultural diversity educator, it is my responsibility to serve as a role model and mentor for young people. Yo Bro: Strive Toward Excellence is written in a unique approach that fuses my three roles into a meaningful, entertaining, and educational experience for young men of color. Through my thought-provoking poetry, I aim to reinforce my teen readers’ self-confidence, explore their culture, and empower them to address the injustices that they are passionate as budding social activists. To enhance comprehension, I have incorporated literacy strategies, such as journaling after each poem and end-of-chapter graphic organizers to encourage readers to make intrinsic connections and examine their authentic ideas about real-life topics. Also, inspirational quotes of renown men of color are integrated to further emphasize these relevant concepts.

Download or read book Life Changes written by Jason D. Minors and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jason woke up that Sunday morning with a smile on his face. The sun was up, and the clear-blue skies beckoned him. In no time, he had showered, dressed, and begged his mother for the use of the family car to attend church. But his mother had to go to work, and so he had no other choice but to ride his motorcycle. The worship service moved Jason to go forward to confess his sins. Relief washed over him, knowing that he had the courage to repent. What healthy, young, fit, twenty-three-year-old could boast that he was an angel? Jason became a little complacent on the beautiful daya little too relaxed, a little too carefree, and just a little too daring as he neared that treacherous bend; little did he know that his young life would be changed forever.
