Author Description

"My Young Life Matters: The Next Generation Speaks" is a collection of essays, short stories, and poems about Black empowerment, police brutality, and social injustice written by children ages 6 to 18 years old. Readers will experience the optimism and future aspirations that our authors still have in these unprecedented times. Through their prose, the authors expressed vexation for the disdain that is plaguing the Black community and offered pathways to a nation that can truly be considered the “land of the free.”
