How Doting Mum, Briana Hampton, Is Helping Her Son Find His Voice Against Bullies
A doting mum is doing everything she can to make sure her child is safe and aware that he is loved by her and those who matter in his life. Black mum, Briana Hampton, became aware of constant bullying, and teasing of her child about his melanin-rich skin by his schoolmates, and is helping him find his voice against bullies.

Racial discrimination in America has always been a topic, and it is sad that kids are not left out, either as victims or as perpetrators. Black kids are profiled and more disproportionately disciplined in public American schools according to reports.

Only two weeks ago, a 9-year-old, McKenzie Adams hanged herself in her home, after been bullied continously and taunted by her schoolmates, for the colour of her skin.
It is as though school authorities do not realise the full impact of the racial taunts on the children and many parents only realise a little too late, how much their kids are suppressing.
Many black kids have been bullied to the point, they took their own lives as a way to end the frustration of being constantly picked on.
Briana noticed how much the racial taunts were getting to her child and was determined to make him feel and have the right thoughts about himself despite bullies.
She did the sweetest thing, when she found the perfect song and sang to her little boy, who became overwhelmed with emotions as a result, and left many who saw the video teary-eyed as well.
Briana shared the video via her Instagram page @mrslatruth, with the caption below:
“My son has been bullied at school and kids have been teasing him about his Darkskin. Me and my husband @_latruthalways say Son your handsome and those kids are mad their not you.
Today I found the perfect song to tell my son how much i love him! ???????? I love you Isaiah your handsome and chocolate. The lady’s love chocolate men too. Ain’t that right ladies? #latruth#mrslatruth #thehamptons”
The loving mum also shared another post on her Instagram, insinuating that school authorities deliberately look away from bullying suffered by black kids and advised parents to write a letter if their child was bullied, as the letter has to be filed and routine inspectors would ask questions about how the school dealt with the complaint.
