Bearded Thoughts: Affirmations, Mantras & Stray Hairs of Wisdom [PRE-ORDER]
🔥 PRE-ORDER ANNOUNCEMENT: BEARDED THOUGHTS
Your wisdom deserves roots. Plant them early.
In a world that often reduces Black mental health to stereotypes, Bearded Thoughts emerges as a sacred toolkit for self-discovery. Jamaal "Black Root" Collier - master teaching artist and Hip Hop storyteller with over 20 years of community work -transforms every coiled hair of his beard into a compass for modern resilience.
This powerful collection features over 50 affirmations, mantras, and "stray hairs" of wisdom that bridge ancestral insight with raw, contemporary truth. From declarations of Black joy ("I am Black. I’m what’s happening") to practical guidance on emotional labor ("Stop fanning flames if you don’t want smoke"), Jamaal’s words act as both mirror and manifesto.
"A majestic mirror where we see beauty no matter how dark the day." - B. Sharise Moore, Foreword Author
Why This Book Belongs in Your Hands:
✊🏾 Reclaim Your Narrative: Affirmations centered on Black identity, vulnerability, and unshakeable worth.
📖 Interactive Healing: Reflection pages invite you to add your voice to Jamaal’s journey.
🌱 Wisdom That Grows: Practical insights (like "Grey Hairs of Wisdom #35: Just because others don’t see your growth doesn’t mean you’re not growing") become lifelong tools.
Written with the rhythm of a beatbox and the depth of a elder’s counsel, Bearded Thoughts is more than a book - it’s a ritual. Whether you’re 18 or 80, this is your invitation to shape your purpose, one thought at a time.
