It’s ironic, but independence isn’t something you can learn all by yourself, writes Andrew Reiner. Boys need tolerant, empathetic adults — especially dads — in their lives to become self-reliant.

Black men and women have served valiantly in every American military conflict. Their service helped define the personhood of Africans in America and their belief in the inalienable rights in the nation’s stated values. Military service among early African Americans symbolized a reimagining of their futures against a backdrop of enslavement, disenfranchisement, and racial hostility—an Afrofuturistic reimagining of the possibilities of full citizenship.

Military service among Black soldiers involved not only the physical power to arm and defend oneself and the nation, but also the mental and intellectual ability to shake off the shackles of subservience into which they were forced. In the same manner that literacy became a new essential technology of empowerment, so too did taking up arms to forge new futures. Military service, through each of our nation’s wars – stateside and abroad – developed into a key component in the emergent identities of Black men as masculine, courageous, and capable husbands, fathers and community members ready to embrace full citizenship. Their march toward a modern Black identity offered a reconstructed worldly and intellectual vision of African American men that challenged racial myths of their inferior – well before terms like ‘Afrofuturism’ were coined.

My big life lesson: it’s okay to disappoint people!

This is your one precious life so live it in alignment with who you are and what you want.

The one to please is the person looking back in the mirror.

I believe, in the end, life will bring us more heartache and tears if we’ve abandoned the one in the mirror.

We will never be everything others may wish us to be, what’s most important is that you become the greatest version of you that YOU deeply desire to be. 💛

An important reminder that grades are not the be-all and end-all. 🙂⁠

Last year, Ben Cichy reminisced on Twitter about how he wound up with a 2.4 GPA during his first semester of college. Despite thinking he was not cut out for a career in STEM, Cichy went on to work on spacecraft for Mars and the moon.

Today, he is the senior director of systems engineering for the lunar program at aerospace manufacturer Blue Origin. “Curiosity and perseverance matter,” Cichy remarked in a clever reference to two of NASA’s Mars rovers.
