One morning, young King sees his mother doing something unexpected — speaking lovingly to her own reflection in the mirror.  Curious, he asks, “Why do you talk to yourself like that?”  

 

What follows is a heart-opening conversation that changes everything.  King learns that his mom practices daily affirmations to remind herself of who she is — strong, beautiful, and worthy — especially in a world that hasn’t always treated her that way. She shares stories from her own past, including the pain of experiencing racism.  To her surprise, King opens up too…

He’s been dealing with racism at school, and it’s been making him feel small.  But instead of staying silent, King and his mom do something powerful: They build a new affirmation routine — one that helps King stand tall, speak up, and conquer his day
