Both systems are supposed to take turns during your day, but when life is wall to wall demands, your body starts treating busy as danger. Noticing which state you're in is the skill that comes before every other skill. Save this and check your pedal at lunch.

When the only stories children find about Black boys are about struggle, that's the lesson they absorb. Brown Boy Joy was written to teach a different one: that joy, confidence, curiosity, and possibility belong to them. That's why it was chosen for Netflix's Bookmarks, read by Grammy-nominated Jill Scott. What your child sees on the page shapes who they believe they can become. Bring it home today, and if it's your first order, code WELCOMEHEYCARTER gets you 10% off. Link in bio.
