I AM FLY.
 
From my crown
 
down to the kicks
 
on my feet...
 
I AM my ancestors' wildest dreams.
 
In this electrifying anthem to Black boy joy and pride, a young child discovers his place in a distinguished lineage. As he meets ten exceptional Black men--historical and contemporary figures who have paved the way for his own future success--he internalizes their greatness. Just like them, he can reach his dreams. And just like him, you have within you big potential.
