Dr. Frierson grew up in the Bronx Housing Projects, New York. Coming from humble beginnings, the author knows what it feels like to be a black male. So you could see how his upbringing fueled his desire to write this book. Dr. Frierson went far back to give a history of mentorship, starting with Hellenistic education. He did thorough research on young millennial African American males and brought forth the statistics of those dropping out of school, why they drop out, and how mentoring can help them.
In this book, the author takes time to analyze the lives of African Americans, noting the time when their ideology started being crippled and what effects these things have on the African American community. He did his best to explain the disadvantages of dropping out of school, the essence of the church to the black community, and the church’s role in mentoring the youth.

Great review! I fell like this is a book that actually wants to help its readers and it’s targeted audience instead of glossing over the details. And the fact that it is written by an actual research doctor and has practical steps to develop is amazing. I’d read this book to learn more.

Dropping out of school for black students in America is not a new thing but why they drop out is what is unknown to many. this book will be helpful in this regard I believe. thanks for the review.

“We attract that to which we give our attention,” by Friedrich Nietzsche (page 41)”

Yes absolutely! What we focus, we give energy on it. It falls on the law of attraction. I like this phrase too. So relatable.

Keep Quiet, Black Boy: A Leadership Guide to Mentoring Millennials by Jerome Frierson is a wake-up call for young black youths of this age. Thank you for sharing your review of this book with us.

This book sounds like an incredibly informative and educational read, and Dr. Frierson deserves a great deal of admiration for his work. His research on young millennial African American males is thorough, and he does an excellent job of analyzing the lives of African Americans, noting the time when their ideology started being crippled and the effects it has had on the community. The quotes he uses to punctuate the book sounds like it would be especially powerful, and his use of Bible passages to explain mentoring is particularly noteworthy. The reflections and action steps at the end of each chapter are also extremely helpful, and make this book a truly transformative tool.

I am highly impressed with this review and with Dr. Frierson’s work on Keep Quiet, Black Boy: A Leadership Guide to Mentoring Millennials. His passion for the topic is evident in the way he breaks down the book into bits and pieces, and the quotes he uses to punctuate the book. I especially appreciate how he uses the Bible to explain mentoring and its structure, as well as how he analyzes what the church means to the African American community. This book is a great resource for anyone who mentors, as it provides valuable insight on theological approaches to mentoring, the Resilience Theory, and how the characteristics of a mentor-mentee relationship result in a successful relationship. This book will be helpful to any young black person that reads it. Thank you for giving out a great deal of details in your review.

I would also love to read this book to learn more. From the review, I can see that the author carried out a lot of research to write this book. Presenting facts and figures has always been the best way to communicate to people for them to know that you are grounded in your area. I commend Dr. Frierson for this.

I feel like I can read the book too. Although it’s target audience are young black males, mentorship , however is for everyone. I think I can learn a lot by reading the book. No knowledge is a waste no matter who and who the targeted audience is.

I appreciate the author’s call and charge to the church. It is high time the church takes the lead and not leaving the whole situation into the hands of the government. Wonderful review welldone.
