Black Man Preferred
Inspirational Guide for Boyz to Men
In a world that does not, I prefer black men: to love, cherish, appreciate, build up and build with. It's simply as black and white as that.
The purpose of this book is to encourage and motivate boys & men to live up to their full potential while making a positive impact in society.
The purpose is also to increase awareness on common mistakes made by men so that others can avoid them while strengthening relationships and fatherhood.
This book is for boys, men and women who love them.
