With 'Dear Black Boy,' I wanted to encourage BIack boys to dream outside of sports and think differently.
It is a reminder that they are more than athletes, more than a jersey number, more than a great crossover or a forty-yard dash, that the biggest game that they’ll ever play is the game of life, and there are people rooting for them off of the courts and fields, not as athletes, but as future leaders of the world. The Imagination Agency’s mission is to inspire children to chase their dreams and encourage creativity, all while embracing their own individuality. With the right preparation, every black boy can win.Dear Black Boy is a letter of encouragement to all of the black boys around the world who feel like sports are all they have.
