Young African American males have been described as violent,
dangerous and out of control. They are often portrayed as pimps,
thugs and hustlers with little regard for family or life. Wake Up
Young Brother by Brian E. Curtis is a must read for parents,
youth ministers, educators or anyone concerned about improving
the state of young African American males.
This God inspired book by Brian E. Curtis identifies several key
areas that young African American males must conquer to fulfill
God's plan for their lives. Wake Up Young Brother challenges
brothers to redefine manhood, reject negative, stereotypical
images and adopt a different mindset about the role of African
American men in society. This book strives to break the kind of
dysfunctional mental programming that encourages young
African American males to engage in self-destructive behavior.
Young black men must be empowered to heed God's call to
Wake Up and become better men. Brian E. Curtis was born in
Washington D.C. and currently resides in Virginia with his
college sweetheart and wife Angela of 17 years.
As a 20-year educator, Brian has worked with young people at
many different levels. His impact has been felt by thousands
through his work with agencies like juvenile and family services.
He has also served in several capacities in multiple elementary,
middle and public high schools. Brian's unconventional ministry
includes educational and manhood planning in addition to
inspirational speaking. He is often requested to deliver unique and
well-researched presentations that change lives. Brian's life was
significantly impacted by the loss of his infant son and now he is
committed to positively impacting the lives of others.
