His book, titled “Black Carpenter” is based on lessons learned as a youth that led Brian White to successes in sports, business, philanthropy, and entertainment.

The Black Carpenter Multi-Platform Youth Development Program is endorsed by Tyler Perry, Roland Martin, Tyrese, LA Reid, the NAACP, UNCF and many others. The mission of the Black Carpenter multi-platform youth development program is to give today’s youth the “tools” they need to build a solid, lasting, and successful foundation in life, as a carpenter builds a rock solid house.
“The purpose of Black Carpenter is to create a tool box of essential life skills for the next generation. I had the great fortune of being born into a family with strong values who gave me the courage to follow my dreams and reach for the stars. My mother and father instilled in me a sense of purpose not defined by today’s street obsession with swag, cars or cribs. Black Carpenter is as much their message of hope, perseverance and achievement for young people, as it is mine,” says actor Brian White.
Black Carpenter is an empowerment brand with applications in print (book), speaking (tours), film (documentary), products and services (retail and financial), and on the internet (web).
