Created with the intention of mitigating both internal and external challenges faced by African American youths, this series of workbooks is structured into 32 distinct lessons. These lessons span a wide array of topics, including but not limited to goal setting, exploring family history, and delving into African culture and history.

The lessons also tackle contemporary forms of expression like Ebonics and rap music, aiming to educate while also validating these unique modes of communication. On the values front, the series delves into the concepts of manhood and womanhood, offering young individuals nuanced perspectives as they transition into adulthood.

The workbooks are rounded out with practical guidance on academic development, equipping students with the skills and tools they need to excel in their educational journey.
