Brown Brother Book Club

Since the creation of this blog, we have always had a selected book that was chosen to give some new materiel to read and something that might broaden our knowledge. Something that was made to strengthen us in a specific area of our life.


Well, basically for the last few months, the book list has been non-existent. I thought the idea was a little to repetitive and we needed something different. However, through this lack of reading posts, I found that the Book of the Month was something that y'all looked forward too.


The book of the month, was a powerful asset and one that was beloved. It gave ideas and the books help strength the mind and spirit. Therefore, the books are returning. We are going to start the Brown Brother Book Club.


The book club is like non-other. The book club is one that is designed and geared for young black males. Every book, every month will be one that is for young black males and gives the idea/mindsets used.


The books will be chosen based on what they were written about and the topics that they discuss.


There is not another book club that I am aware of that caters just to Brothers.


I want to change the narrative and stereotype that young black males do not read. Therefore, lets change this and continue to advance in our knowledge.


In closing, here is the first official book selection of the new Brown Brother Book Club.....




"Countering the Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys, Vol. 1" by: Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu




This book is amazing, I have started reading on this book and although this book is older, it tells everything that is going on currently. It is incredible read and one that will have your mind stimulated as well as aware.


This book is for the conscious mind or at least the mind that is trying to go to new levels of understanding. This book will answers quite a few questions.


I know this book will be one that will be worth your time reading. Also, the book is like just 40 pages, so a powerful and jammed-packed book of knowledge.


You can find this book at the library for rental. Or, if you want to own a copy, Amazon.com for $5 dollars.

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...

FASFA

I try to explore different topics and ideas to discuss/share on the blog. While going through some papers and looking through some stuff, I remember that I forget to write about this topic. Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA. First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college. Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for college. FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year. FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school. A simple summary is basically this: (1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax (2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/ (3) Create a account (4) Fill out all of the informat...

Short Story of the Fatherless Black Male

I wrote this in the backseat of a car during a road trip. This post may have a couple of grammar errors and a couple of different ideas. But, this is how I truly felt. Let's get into it. I can't sugar-coat it or make it seem insignificant. Point blank, being a young black male without a father sucks. It worse than the stench of rotten eggs, and it feels worse than being hit by a truck at high speed. Being a fatherless male is like having half of your self taken away at birth. Being a father black male means going through life without a round-the-clock mentor, a disciplinary, a friend, a dad. I mean having a mom is a blessing within itself. Most fatherless males usually have a mom. However, if it took two to create, then it is best to take two to mold and build. And, let's be honest, it's some questions no dude feels comfortable or feels right asking their mom. That is just one of the reason why not having a father sucks. At the very least, it is a inconvenien...
