Fully Manned by S. Tia Brown in Jet Magazine

1.)Ne-Yo-writer/singer/music executive: "I want my son to understand that being a real man has nothing to do with being hard, and everything to do with being strong. A real man provides for and protects those he loves. He does what's necessary. 2.) Malcolm D. Lee-Director: "The most important lesson my wife and I consistently teach our sons is to always try their best and give their maximum effort no matter how small the task." 3.) T.I.-rapper/music executive: "I always remind my boys that their rep follows them everywhere they go and to protect their family with their life. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "A man who won't die for something is not fit to live." 4.)Marvin Sapp-Singer:"The key value I want to instill in my son is fidelity. That should be part of a man's DNA. I want him to have that same commitment I had to his mother, to his wife and children one day." 5.) Raheem Devaughn-singer/songwriter:"I'm big on teaching respect for women because we live in a time where everything is easily accessible. So, I'm in their ears early. Respect is key." 6.)The-Dream-music producer/singer: "As a kid, my grandfather talked to me about what he went through during the Civil Rights Movement, so it's important to me that my sons understand that part of their history and how it impacts how they fit into society."
