Letters to My Son: The Strength of a Black Man's Mind, Body & Soul is a powerful, heartfelt guide written from the voice of a father to his son-but meant for every Black man searching for clarity, healing, and purpose.
Author Mark Splawn delivers raw and reflective wisdom in the form of deeply personal letters, touching on everything from mental strength and emotional intelligence to financial discipline, trauma, leadership, love, and legacy. With each chapter, he breaks the silence so many men were raised in and offers a blueprint for wholeness.
This book isn't about perfection. It's about becoming the kind of man who can stand firm in his values, lead with love, heal with courage, and live with intention. Whether you grew up with a strong father figure or had to figure life out on your own, Letters to My Son gives you the words many of us needed to hear but never received.
It's for sons who are becoming fathers. For men learning to forgive. For leaders being molded through pain. For those tired of surviving and ready to grow.
If you've ever wished for a guide that sees you, affirms you, and speaks directly to your journey-this is it.
