His inspiration for this short story came from that desire and the need to magnify the positive image of black boys and black men in areas other than sports and entertainment.This story shows the loving relationship between a father and his
son, where the father is guiding his son to be a leader in academics, community service, and showing compassion for fellow humans. Brandon feels that this is a narrative that is commonly overlooked, and it is time to shed light on it.
