Raising Black Kings Series · Book Two - Holding the Crown: Through Years That Count Most

In Book One, we made the declaration: they see a Black boy. I see a king. Book Two answers the question that every declaration must eventually face now that we see the king, how do we help him carry the crown through the years that will test it most? "It is one thing to see the king in a Black boy. It is another thing to help him carry the crown through a world that may not always recognise it." Holding the Crown is a warm, powerful, and deeply practical guide to the four stages of Black boyhood, from the tender early years of attachment and identity formation, through the questioning years of racial awareness, to the tested years of adolescence, and finally the transition into young manhood. At every stage, it gives the adults who love Black boys the language, the tools, and the honest conversations they need. For mothers, fathers, mentors, educators, and everyone who stands close enough to a Black boy to matter, this is the guide that sits beside the declaration and says: now let's build.
