Dear Young Black Man

This episode is for you. Not as a lecture. Not as motivation. As a reminder.

The world will try to name you before you ever speak. It will hand you labels before it learns your character. This MindShift Audio Blog is a direct letter to you about identity, education, leadership, and legacy. About knowing who you are before the world tells you who you should be.

This is about strength that does not require hardness. Power that does not need permission. Education that goes beyond classrooms and into history, systems, and self-respect.

Listen closely. This is not about surviving what you were born into. It’s about understanding what you carry and deciding how you will walk with it.
