Now the execution is going to be the real work. Mentorship is keep but at the same time finding qualified and people that are worthy is not that easy.

A mentor can fulfill the need of providing another perspective, insight into a particulars profession or discipline, etc. Thankyou Mr. Breeze for encouraging men to give back to our community by mentoring. Similarly, women should also mentor —both males and females. Mentoring does not have to be limited to the same gender. Let’s stay involved .

BIOLOGY doe not care about parenting only conceiving, Society IS CONCERNED ABOUT PARENTING. so the question we must ask is what are the factors that make for good parenting.
I would say there are multiple routes, one which is a male and female who are loving and knowledgeable, sane, etc. etc. but there are other combinations of individuals that can be good parents. the one thisng that society can do to promote good parenting is to provide help ADEQUATE physical means for survival, not the measly crumbs our society provides, more like what the Scandinavian countries do for their citizens.
We should not underestimate the tremendous parenting that a lot of our single Black women have done , and we should analyze the failures of some of our single Black mothers in a scientific manner. not in a sexist, anti female ,male centered, religious manner.
there is much more to this discussion.

Congratulations on an awesome kickoff for “THE VILLAGE” Blog for the CBCFINC.org. A great contribution to help us further our awareness of the need for mentors. I am encouraged that such programs for both young men and women will continue to serve us, our communities and our world well.

The product of powerful familial “LOVE LEGACY”; a dual parent household (parents have been married 48 years) come this March 2013, I am blessed to have been and continue to be mentored by both of my parents. They are our first teachers indeed. However, I too had many outside mentors who nurtured, guided, loved and still love me to this day. It is indeed our obligation to PAY IT FORWARD for the generations to come.

Thank you again for your insight and sharing here. Happy New Year!

Best,
DrDeborah
