This book is a roadmap for the African diaspora to navigate their way through a society in which they appear as a visible minority. It provides a set of rules that if followed correctly, will not only improve life within that society, but also reinforce relationships between black brothers and sisters. These rules underpin the values that we have always strived to achieve, yet we sometimes forget to exemplify. We've all heard of the term getting on code; this book provides the codes which we need to move forward as a people. The reader is challenged to do better simply because they know better. Just like any exercise, it is the stamina and continued effort that produces the greatest results. By exercising these twenty-one rules consistently, the reader will gain an internal strength and fortitude that will resonate with whomever they meet.
