“Raising Black Boys to Men: A Mother’s Guide to Raising Thugless Sons” is a candid book of one mother’s journey: her successes, trials, and errors, in raising her three boys, in a society that glorifies thug-life. Author, Patricia Joseph, who successfully navigated the lives of her three sons, through the ever so present negative influences in society, felt compelled to write about her experience in raising thugless sons. Patricia credits much of her success to just “good, ole-fashion child rearing.” All readers will enjoy the heart-felt emotion of Patricia’s call-to-action: “Save Our Sons.”

As a mom, I only hoped that my sons would grow up and become decent, responsible young men. But, I knew that without my cultivation and nurturing, this would never happen. I needed to mold and shape my sons into the men they would eventually become! This meant that I would have to start the process, of raising them, from the moment they were old enough to understand the difference between right and wrong.
Book Excerpt
Raising Black Boys to Men
Children are impressionable at a young age. Their young brains are like an empty vessel: whatever you pour in, you’ll get the same in return. That’s why it’s important to start the process early. Prolonging the process only makes it difficult for the child and parent.
