I created a program called “I’m an A+” - I”m an African American Plus. Its purpose is to get black youth to think of themselves and define themselves as more than the color of their skin. Too many blacks limit their experiences, their interactions, their adventures and ultimately their happiness. Because of insecurity and lack of confidence, many times they will miss out on opportunities, when they say, “Blacks don’t do that! Blacks don’t swim. Black don’t ski. Blacks don’t play lacrosse. Blacks don’t whatever.” Yes you are the color of your skin, but you are more than that. You are much more than that and you must define yourself in a 1000 different amazing ways, because that’s what makes you YOU! I challenge our youth to define themselves and resist letting others negatively define them.
