I AM FLY.

From my crown

down to the kicks

on my feet…

I AM my ancestors’ wildest dreams.

In this electrifying anthem to Black boy joy and pride, a young child discovers his place in a distinguished lineage. As he meets ten exceptional Black men—historical and contemporary figures who have paved the way for his own future success—he internalizes their greatness. Just like them, he can reach his dreams. And just like him, you have within you big potential.
