As we approach December, Race and Faith celebrates a decade of dedication to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion. This year, we’re excited to invite you into an initiative aimed at the literacy crisis among Black boys in Wisconsin—a move in our journey to break down systemic barriers and enhance educational fairness.

Our commitment has always been to cultivate spaces where everyone can flourish. Literacy is a fundamental pillar of success, and it is crucial that our Black and Brown boys in Wisconsin receive the necessary support to overcome the significant barriers they face on their path to success. Concentrating on this vital issue, we strive to elevate young voices, supply necessary resources, and raise awareness.

The Black Boy Joy Book Drive aims to gather 300 books to distribute within our reading circle and to other groups supporting Black and Brown boys. We recognize the significance of culturally relevant books and invite you to support our mission to deliver these books to Black boys and their families.
