"Beyond the Hammer: Equipping Revolutionary Teachers to Build Emotional Intelligence in Black Youth"




Once upon a time, there was a little Black boy whose parents only had a hammer 🔨 in the toolbox. Whenever the little boy saw a loose nail or a wobbly table, he witnessed his Momma or Daddy enter the hallway like Thor ⚡. Eventually, the little boy grew into a man, fixing his “honey do” list with a John Henry mighty swing 💪.


Until one fateful day, his mother asked the little boy (now turned man) to fix a loose socket. He grabbed his trusty hammer 🔨 and swung, feeling Thor’s full electric shock ⚡. As the little boy twitched, taking in his last breath, his mother wondered why the little Black boy did not grab the screwdriver she left on the table 🔧.


Many of our Black youth experience life with limited tools in their emotional toolkit 🧰, unable to navigate emotions and challenges with flexibility. These at-risk students need more than hammers; they need a full set of tools, rooted in understanding 🤔, resilience 💪, and self-awareness 🧠.
