In the midst of everything going on we have to find hope somewhere among ourselves and rebuild our communities and families. Nobody knows the pain that a person feels when such things happen in life.
Dear Black males,
I want to begin this letter stating that no matter how old or young you are, you are very important to me. As well as many other people around the world and in different communities. I didn't make this letter to a specific age group because we need every age group to be complete.
The younger Black males are important because they keep the legacy going, no matter if it's good or bad. They are so important because you can mold them into pure greatness and mold them to be more aware about the things going on so they can be aware or "woke" and know what really is going on so they wont be blindsided when they become older.
To the males in my generation, I can't say how much you are important to me and to other people as well. There is nothing like loving an educated Black man who knows his worth no matter the situation. You're so important to me because you can make a change in anyone's life: your children, parents, family, friends, co-workers and just random people. Just by having an upbeat spirit and being positive about certain situations, even if it calls you out to try and be the bad person. You're important not just to me, but to your mothers and fathers as well. For her to know that they didn't go wrong with you and for you to excel - it doesn't matter if its graduating, working or creating your own business.
Finally, to the older Black males. You all are the glue that sticks everything together. Your past life experience should be a guideline of how to survive in this crazy world we live in. The stories you share about the past are never in vain, because for some odd reason, history keeps repeating itself. And when that seems to happen all we have to do is fall back on your word. You are so important because your generation is the praying generation, which means when things seem to go left all you have to do is turn right, to God. You're so important to me, I have not a lot to say.
In the midst of everything I am so thankful for the males. You all are a lesson and a blessing regardless of what society thinks. Society can call you thugs, gangsters, rapists and uneducated, but to me you all are princes and kings of this nation.
P.s. Your life matters to me!!
Sincerely,
A Black queen
