How do you define Friendship?


What would be the first word to come to mind when you think of your bff? Kind? Loyal? Trustworthy? Funny? Smart? Well all these words describe the 3 amigos in this month's NBHE's bookclub selection.

We Beat The Street is the New York Times Best Seller, and true story coauthored by the three African American male doctors: Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt with Sharon Draper. 

This book chronicles the lives of 3 friends who when faced with numerous obstacles held one another accountable and refused to give up on themselves and each other.

This is an excellent family read. You will explore the meaning of TRUE friendship, goal setting, and being an overcomer!! Below is a link that will enhance your family's discussion time and bring forth topic not commonly discussed. You will feel emporwered and ready to encourage everyone to go after their dreams, especially young boys!! 

Don't forget to share your comments on the blog!!:-)
