Dimension OF ENGAGEMENT

Engagement: Connecting Kids to Black Culture and Community

Strong and positive identification with one’s racial/ethnic group is an important source of a positive self-image leading to better emotional, physical, and, mental well-being. It is also important for building self-identity because it connects to group cultural values, beliefs, and traditions. 
Children who are raised outside the community miss out on relationship-building opportunities and authentic cultural experiences.
