Melanin Born Kings

A book precisely designed to enlighten and inspire underrepresented youth of color born into the African diaspora. Walton aims to do this by taking a sociological approach and positively shaping the young minds of these particular youth by empowering them to develop an early growth mindset. Unfortunately, several melanin born boys are raised in disadvantaged environments which lack adequate educational opportunities or community resources. Walton is fervently passionate about providing these youth with the keen awareness of their true potentialities and capabilities in this world. It is Walton's belief, that these youth of color must be thoroughly exposed to the broad range of the leading professions in United States of America during their initial developmental stages in life. Historically, young African American males have been stereotyped as future athletes and are typically discouraged from attaining their American Dream through traditional career choices. It is imperative to teach and instill this message in these young melanin born kings. Therefore, these young kings should know that they are more than capable of being phenomenal regardless of their socioeconomic status, societal obstacles, and the racial classification system that tends to unfavorably place African Americans in challenging positions in society. Furthermore, these youth of color often encounter negative methods of social stratification within society, which then generally leads to a lifestyle of poverty or incarceration in the criminal justice system. These atrocities can be greatly attributed to the hindrance of professional success, amongst males who are born into the African diaspora. Thus, Walton's chief concern, is that all young African American males receive the essential knowledge, and the sufficient education needed to reach their maximum potential and aspire to beat the odds by accomplishing high achievements that should not be viewed as rare in American culture.
