Description
Breaking the Mental Chains of Black Teenagers is a collection of successful speeches used by Yaba Baker from 1996 to 2012 to inspire and motivate over 2,500 Black teenagers to strive to do better in life. Parents, teachers, and mentors, regardless of socioeconomic background, are encouraged to use this book as a way to open up those must-have conversations with the teenagers in their lives. The book begins with establishing a positive self-identity for any Black teenager by revealing astonishing proven historical facts. Scientific discoveries created by Black people include math (addition, subtraction, geometry, trigonometry, etc.), divisions of time (seconds, minutes, hours, etc.) and architecture like the Washington Monument (a copy of an ancient African monument). Black inventions from the golf tee to the refrigerator to the gas mask, with the original patent numbers, gives Black teenagers from all walks of life an increased sense of pride. The revelation that 8 out of 10 NFL players are broke 2 years after retirement always gets the young men's attention. Add information about the new form of slavery that young Blacks are unknowingly signing up for every day, and let the conversations begin. YABA BAKER is an author, an award winning script writer, and a public speaker. His books have received media attention from BET, CBS News Affiliate in Washington, DC, Upscale magazine, five nationally-syndicated radio shows, and over 70 media outlets from around the country.
