In collaboration with ProjectBlackBoys
WHAT IS #BLACKBOYJOY?
This is an appreciation of young black male characters in literature. In lue of what's going on in America, young man being targeted and gunned down by the police, I thought it would be nice to spread some love through literature and write something happy about young black man.
The challenge is that you have to write a one-shot centred around a young black male, highlighting his success or happy life.
note: all genres will be allowed as long as the main focus is black boy joy and it meets the required criteria.
