Forgive and learn

Black men and women of all ages(I'm in my 20's) should read this. Even if they are not mothers or fathers(which I'm not). This book was written in great balance and reflection by Kristen Taylor. It was a confirmation of what I had always thought. A child's life is greatly impacted with a relationship with their father. A father needs to be in his kids lives to help guide, protect, motivate and inspire. There are fathers who failed at this most important responsibility. That responsibility gives the fathers that work hard a bad name. Our community needs more leaders and less followers. I'm glad the author pointed out how such a positive impact her father was. Imagine if our community could talk beautifully about our black fathers on Father's Day?
