With an impassioned plea, Zanjainie Watson encourages Black boys to arise; arise out of fear and doubt, and courageously and positively realize their purpose despite being discriminated against. She reveals how germane it is for them to accept and love themselves, an absolute necessity for developing positive self-concepts.

Black Boy Arise is a life-changing, affirming book which captures reasons why Black boys should love and accept the way God created them. The book walks the reader through a rich and powerful experience of the worth of black boys, the value of the color of their skin, their talents, their purpose in the world, and refers to God as their ultimate source of greatness and strength.

The book uses poetry and hands-on activity to help boys recognize that they are stars, and they can be great. They will garner confidence to approach life without fear, and doubt and be the best version of themselves.

Boys can personalize and rehearse the affirmations in this book, using them daily to boost their confidence and self-worth. Reading this book frequently will help to shape the mind of the reader to think positively about themselves regardless of people's negative opinions of them.

Walk boldly, be brave and never coy. God had joy in creating you-Black boy.
