About this audiobook
Embrace Who You Are as a Male Black Teen
#1 New Release in Teen & Young Adult Language Arts Books
Embrace the color of your skin and celebrate your identity. Finding the courage to live freely and authentically is not easy. This black teen book is designed to help you facilitate your creative drive, promote positive self-awareness, and boost your inner strength.
Affirmations for Black teen boys. This black teen book is full of wisdom from Black male trailblazers who accomplished remarkable things in sports, literature, entertainment, education, STEM, business, military and government services, politics and law, activism, and more.
Explore the many facets of your identity through hundreds of big and small questions. In this guidebook for teens, M.J. Fievre, educator and author of Raising Confident Black Kids and Badass Black Girl, tackles a variety of relevant topics, such as family and friends, school and careers, and stereotypes. While reflecting on these subjects, you confront the issues that could hold you back from living a confident life as a Black teen boy.
Learn from the lives of thriving black men. Alongside space for personal work and reflection, M.J. Fievre provides interviews with successful black men in a variety of fields, including Andrew Bernard of Make It Dairy Free, Justin Black of Redefining Normal, and Roderick “Rod” Morrow of Rodimus Prime.
Walk Boldly helps you to:
Build and boost your self-esteem with powerful affirmations and stories from Black male role models
Learn more about yourself through insightful journaling
Become comfortable and confident in your skin
If you enjoyed Black teen books like Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Boy, 31-Day Affirmations for African American Boys, or Letters to a Young Brother, you’ll love Walk Boldly.
M.J. Fievre
Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, M.J. Fievre moved to the United States in 2002. She currently writes from Miami. M.J.’s publishing career began as a teenager in Haiti. At nineteen years-old, she signed her first book contract with Hachette-Deschamps, in Haiti, for the publication of a Young Adult book titled La Statuette Maléfique. Since then, M.J. has authored nine books in French that are widely read in Europe and the French Antilles. In 2013, One Moore Book released M.J.’s first children’s book, I Am Riding, written in three languages: English, French, and Haitian Creole. In 2015, Beating Windward Press published M.J.’s memoir, A Sky the Color of Chaos, about her childhood in Haiti during the brutal regime of Jean-Bertrand Aristide. M.J. Fievre is the author of Happy, Okay? Poems about Anxiety, Depression, Hope, and Survival (Books & Books Press, 2019) and Badass Black Girl: Questions, Quotes, and Affirmations for Teens (Mango Publishing, 2020). She helps others write their way through trauma, build community and create social change. She works with veterans, disenfranchised youth, cancer patients and survivors, victims of domestic and sexual violence, minorities, the elderly, those with chronic illness or going through transition and any underserved population in need of writing as a form of therapy—even if they don’t realize that they need writing or therapy. A long-time educator and frequent keynote speaker (Tufts University, Massachusetts; Howard University, Washington, D.C.; the University of Miami, Florida; and Michael College, Vermont; and a panelist at the Association of Writers & Writing Programs Conference, AWP), M.J. is available for book club meetings, podcast presentations, interviews and other author events.
