Extraordinary men and women-we see them in our communities every day. They impact countless lives, they uplift and they inspire. But where did their
inspiration come from? How did they become extraordinary? Through the
personal stories of twenty men and women, Dare To Be Extraordinary: A
Collection of Life Lessons From African American Fathers breathes life into
one of today's most compelling familial and social issues: fatherhood in the
African American community. In-depth discourse allows business leaders,
cultural icons, athletes, politicians, activists, doctors, newsmakers, and
some of the best and brightest minds of our time, the chance to share-with
honesty, wit and intellect-lessons learned from their fathers. Dare To Be
Extraordinary recognizes and honors the wisdom and teachings of African
American fathers passed down to both sons and daughters who took those
lessons to heart and have led extraordinary lives.
