EDITOR’S NOTE Growing up, the weekend after Thanksgiving was always a busy one. Christmas is my mother’s favorite holiday and putting up the Christmas tree was her favorite part. As the houses got bigger, the more trees we got but it was always the same process. I was in charge of digging the ornaments out of the garage or basement, my sister untangled the lights, my father brought in the tree and my mother started to strategize on how she wanted the tree to look. Till this day, that tree continues to go up after Thanksgiving. It is a memory, it is my family, it is TRADI- TION. In this issue, we talk about family. From Black fathers who are inspiring their children to be confident to a story about brothers learning to accept and understand their sibling who is Trans. This <strong>Family</strong> issue will motivate you, remind you to love, and inspire you to keep those traditions. Eric K.
