This succinct overview of black experiences and realities serves as a guide to take rather complex circumstances and translate them into a series of lessons. Andrew Raybon pulls from his life experiences, ranging through various social classes, to encourage communities of color to reframe our objectives and responsibilities to each other. Heavy emphasis is placed on collectivism in a country that inspires individualism. His deep consideration of these issues is informed by his studies in human services, years of travel and military experience, and his devotion to the black community. His intention is to serve and ignite the discussions and actions that will lead to transformative thinking in a new decade of opportunity in the United States of America and beyond.
About the author
Andrew Raybon is a service member who is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a Concentration in Psychology. Andrew has always been interested in the black community, while also trying to figure out his role in the grand scheme of black unity and progression. After years of military service he prepares for a career change and finally finds his pathway. The Framework: Structure for the Black Community is the culmination of his life experiences translated into short and concise lessons for people of color, with hopes that we recognize the power in our combined effort. Andrew meticulously considers some of the most polarizing thoughts and ideas impacting the black community to create a new school of thought that can be embraced by all. The concepts he seeks to outline are deeply moving and symbolic of the way he chooses to live his life. His studies inform him immensely and that provides the foundation of his work. Transformative thinking and unique social spheres have allowed him to create an identity for himself, and in turn he hopes to use that experience to inform communities of color.
