Heritage Sonnets are specifically for the purpose of encouraging healthy esteem in black youth. They are cards that double as bookmarks, for boys and girls, with a short poem on the front (a sonnet) that sends a message of empowerment and lets them know they are valued in this world, and a space on the back to write a special note. What started out as one set of inspirational sonnets ("Fly" and "Pride") has turned into a growing series that I hadn't planned on, but that I'm very excited about. This is a project that I'm now totally focused on building and improving. I invite you to support this worthy cause.
Here are 5 ways the product benefits black youth:
- Encourages viewing themselves in a new light and prompts affirmative [re]examination of their worth;
- encourages them to explore poetry, possibly be curious enough to study it;
- gives something positive to read about themselves every day but short enough to keep their attention;
- gently warns about “reality potholes” where they’re concerned and presents proactive, healthy solutions that prompt early self-care;
- encourages deeper cultural awareness, interest, and discussion.
