“Dear Black Fathers and Black Mothers… Let's give our children gifts that TRULY matter. The gift of being a positive role model. The gift of showing them what genuine love looks and feels like. The gift of spending quality time with them. The gift of making them feel wanted and loved. The gift of open and honest communication. The gift of hearing and listening to them. The gift of guidance, support, and friendship. Let’s set them up for greatness by investing in them early on in life by preparing, teaching, educating, and empowering them!” Stephanie LahartStephanie Lahart QuotesBlack FamilyBlack MothersBlack MotherhoodBlack FamiliesBlack FatherhoodBlack FathersBlack ParenthoodBlack Parents Author:Stephanie Lahart
