<h3><strong>Dear Young Black Man</strong></h3><p>This episode is for you. Not as a lecture. Not as motivation. As a reminder.</p><br><p>The world will try to name you before you ever speak. It will hand you labels before it learns your character. This MindShift Audio Blog is a direct letter to you about identity, education, leadership, and legacy. About knowing who you are before the world tells you who you should be.</p><br><p>This is about strength that does not require hardness. Power that does not need permission. Education that goes beyond classrooms and into history, systems, and self-respect.</p><p>Listen closely. This is not about surviving what you were born into. It’s about understanding what you carry and deciding how you will walk with it.</p><br><p>🔗 Read the full blog post:</p><p><a href="https://www.fatimabey.com/dear-young-black-man" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.fatimabey.com/dear-young-black-man</a></p><h3><br></h3><h3>Chapters</h3><p>00:00 - Intro: Dear Young Black Man</p><p>00:38 - You Are Not a Mistake</p><p>01:14 - The World Will Try to Define You</p><p>01:58 - What Real Strength Actually Is</p><p>02:41 - Education as Liberation</p><p>03:38 - Understanding the System</p><p>04:34 - Builders, Not Just Rebels</p><p>05:24 - Leadership Without Permission</p><p>06:16 - Brotherhood Over Competition</p><p>07:02 - You Are the Answer</p><h3><br></h3><h3>MindShift Moments</h3><ul><li>You are not a mistake.
