Forwards Ever: A Letter to My Younger Self

I've been selected to write this letter in partnership with RiseUp powered by Kids Help Phone, where African, Caribbean, and Black youth can get wellness support by visiting KidsHelpPhone.ca/RISE or texting RISE to 686868. I'm excited to be a part of this because my own kid is entering high school, so for me, it's as much a letter to him as it is to my past self. Young Black kids deserve to have the guidance of perspective and mentors. I believe I'm in a position to inspire and support by sharing my own experiences.
