Winnas, Not Ni**as: A Black Male's Path to a King's Mentality

by Keyshawn McMiller

Dear Black boy/man, what if you discovered that despite how society defines you, generational greatness and ancestral awesomeness still course through your veins?

Black males are encouraged to be more like their lighter counterparts and that they're only suitable for correctional facilities or sports. Society says they should lock their emotions away and compete amongst themselves, for there is no such thing as "unity." Looking for a fresh perspective, they idolize the celebrities like Lebron James, Barack Obama, and Jay-Z, and rightfully so. However, we need not rely solely on media outlets and YouTube videos to gain understanding; family members, neighbors, teachers, and community professionals also hold unique perspectives of Black excellence.

Written on these pages are a collection of keys to wisdom from Black men, who, although successful in their own rights, are not "global superstars" by society's definition. The author has asked these Winnas one question for your benefit: "If you could give a little Black boy one piece of advice towards a successful life, what would it be?"

Caretakers, mentors, and groups focused on empowering Black males: this book is the perfect gift for your son, mentee, or team member needing affirmations and insights from those who have and are walking the path to a good life.
