I often discuss with my GF about the world and local environment her son will experience. Right now he is cheeky, innocent chatterbox at 8 years old.. but it doesn’t take long before his appearance is viewed in society as difficult, troubled, rude, mistrusted, intimidating, threatening. That his adolescence will come with a very different set of lenses to my own, regardless of his upbringing, home structure and discipline. I will ensure that he knows himself, his heritage, his history and has self belief to strive for the very best, what ever life throws at him. To be better and work harder than his class mates to seize more opportunities in life.
