Blackness is Creativeness and God Made Me Black Because He Is Creative are now both for sale! https://tinyurl.com/mcf9srvk My kids asked me not to write another book. I did not respect their wishes. I wanted to say, "How could I not? Have you been awake the last year?" Daily more African American men are hunted. Today it was Daunte Wright. Tomorrow will be another victim. If you are not angry yet you are not paying attention. My books will not solve police brutality. They will raise awareness of race relations in North America. This is all one can do. Please support my cause.

2. As the summer of 2020 unfolded and I saw so many adults moving to the wrong side of
the fence on appropriate race relations views I was taken back. I thought our country
was a lot further down the yellow brick road of race relations. I was deeply wrong. Rather
than try to talk to adults whose minds would not be moved despite moving material being
presented I started to think about the kids. I thought of parents struggling for a common
language when trying to talk about these issues with their children. I thought of the
children trying to make sense of issues that just don't make sense. I imagine they were
left feeling scared and insecure. If they were children of color I imagine there are no
words to describe how they felt. Vulnerable, at-risk, hunted to name a few. I believe our
country can heal from the wounds of racism. I believe this younger generation will be the
last generation to tolerate systemic racism. At a peaceful demonstration, I attended in
July 2020 for Elijah McClain one of the teenage speakers said, "Change is coming and it
is beautiful! " Amen. Please join me as we create a safer world for all children.
"Blackness is Creativeness truly belongs in every elementary school. Equity begins with
educating our children about the beauty of diversity. This book is a unifying plan for a
lifetime."-Julie Reilly Licensed School Social Worker
