I loved the fact that she never made herself out to be a hero. But instead she made herself out to be a Mom
Great Read!

A great read full of wisdom and practical advice! I loved that the chapters move quickly which makes information easy to come back to and re-visit. It’s written from a single mother’s perspective but this is a book for single, married, extended family, caretakers – whoever! These are truths anyone can benefit from.

I loved this book so much. I often find parenting books hard to read because they give me a to do list or make me feel badly about my choices. This book is so easy to read. The author is funny
and relatable. She talks a lot about self-acceptance and accepting your children for where they are as well. While there is a particular emphasis on single moms & the unique challenges of
raising Black sons in today’s society, I think that this book is an excellent read for any parent. Highly recommend.
This book is not just for single moms but for Moms doing their best to raise sons, especially Black sons. You need this book! Every. Single. Page. I’m so thankful that I was able to read practical information that I could use, even now. I’m a real mom who loves her son, but I needed answers to help support him better. Thanks to this book I was able to see that others experienced some of the same parenting struggles I did. I’m thankful things got better for my son. I wish I had this book during the early years, but I’m happy that others will.
Life is full of many voices. However, some voices have a unique way of connecting and empowering others to be better and do better. Sanya Simmons is one of those voices. Throughout the pages of A Single Mom’s Guide to Raising Black Gentlemen, you’ll hear the voice of a woman being vulnerable, transparent, loving and blatantly honest so she can help others to constructively address issues such as: racial stereotypes, gender identity, mental health and their stigmas, and the challenges of a woman trying to teach and raise her sons from ‘Boys to Gentlemen
It’s all about family

I enjoyed the authors perspective and storytelling. She endured and overcame a lot to raise her two sons to be real men. It felt personal and relatable. It’s about a single mothers struggles but moreso it’s an American story that doesn’t get enough attention. How do we support single mothers and promote families. Investing in our children creates productive adults which benefits us all.
