I am so grateful for this book! There is palpable love in it. Love with eyes wide open to the dangers our boys face in today's world, and love leading to a better, kinder place.

Uju Asika has done a tremendous amount of research, culturally and historically, and through raising her boys, and I will implement her lessons with my own boys.

Uju Asika writes with much empathy and insight about some of the hard conversations we need to have as a society. Her first book, Bringing Up Race, changed the way I think, act, and talk about race. I am sure this book will be just as transformative for countless parents and educators of boys. It's a deeply engaging read that shines with Uju's trademark wit and wisdom.

As a domestic equity advocate, I believe if we want to change the world, we need to start at home. Raising Boys Who Do Better is exactly the book I've been looking for as a mother trying to bring up my two boys against the weight of patriarchal conditioning. What I love about Uju's writing is that she doesn't preach or push an agenda; instead, she invites us to reframe the way we think about masculinity and how we can ALL do better for our sons and for society at large. A funny, thought-provoking, and heart-centered read that I would recommend to anyone, not just parents of boys.

- Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space

This is such a wide-ranging, informative, and relatable book that really resonated with me. Parenting our sons is often the forgotten part of equality. With an understanding of what it's actually like to bring up a boy in the 21st Century, Uju Asika has written a book that is essential for every parent, regardless of their gender.
