Training Black Spirit: Ethics for African American Teens

Like all teens, African American teens find themselves wondering what they should or should not be doing and how they should behave toward each other -- only they often have no male role model in the home and negative models, like gang-banger, on the street.

TRAINING BLACK SPIRIT offers a guide through the fog of adolescence by providing a personal training aid in ethics -- values -- especially tailored for Black teens.

Conwill helps Black teens prepare for adulthood in the family, the community, and the world by developing their characters.

The principles presented in TRAINING BLACK SPIRIT provide directives or instructions on living, as well as a defense against destructive influences. like drugs and violence. These principles are represented throughout the text by Adinkra symbols, along with a martial-arts self-defense interpretation for each principle, which teens discuss with an adult facilitator..

  1. Dr WAter is the only one who could ever get my HERPES and Shingles cured with his herbal products. I have tried almost everything but i couldn't find any solution to my painful rashes and stripe of blisters. Despite all these happening to me, i always spend a lot on buying HERPES drugs from hospitals and taking some several medications but no relief, until one day i was just browsing on the internet when i came across a great post of Henriette, who truly said that she was been diagnose with HERPES and was healed through the help of these great powerful herbal doctor. Sometime i really wonder why people called him Dr. WAter, i never knew it was all because of the great and perfect work that he has been doing that made him so popular. So, I quickly contacted him, and he ask me some few questions and then he said something i will never forget. He said that anyone who has used his herbal medicine always get healed after 2 weeks. I was amazed, because i could sense that he was being very honest, so i did all that he requested to buy this medicine. When i started using this medicine, after a few days the blisters were all gone, no rashes on my body anymore. I patiently waited to finish the dosage, before i went to a nearby hospital to see a gynacologist for check up. And i was told that i was negative of the herpes and shingle. I was very amazed and happy about the healing, and i can't hold my joy, so i am here to tell anyone going through similar health issues to stop wasting your money on hospital medicine, get Dr. WAter herbal products now and be healed.
