How do you help Black boys overcome crime, poverty, and racism? I can tell you now, cliches won’t do it! Most times, when people think about addressing the systemic oppression of Black boys, they either over-simplify the solution. Or, on the other hand, they recognize how daunting the problem is and they just ignore the issue. Only the few try and tackle the issue of helping Black boys achieve head on, and it’s only the truly chosen who figure out how to do it successfully. In this episode, you hear CJ Stewart share his wisdom gained from making it to Major League Baseball, not realizing his potential as a player, but then ultimately transferring that experience into the L.E.A.D. program that’s helping at-risk Black boys thrive.
