Singer Kelly Rowland Speaks Passionately About Raising Her Son

American Singer Kelly Rowland has shared some exciting tales about raising her son adding that she cried when she was told he had given birth to a baby boy.

Kelly Rowland, who is the mother of 18-month old Titan, made this revelations during Essence Fest in New Orleans. She said: "I remember being pregnant with Titan and the moment the doctor said 'It's a boy' and there were all these shootings happening with our young men. I just began to weep.

"I want to raise a great man with respect for himself and others, and to know who he is and to know what his surroundings look like. I just feel like there's great responsibility, not just as parents but as a community in raising him.

"I feel like our boys need to see it more. If our athletes and our actors and our executives speak up then they can see themselves and they can hear their stories and they can feel like 'I'm closer to what he's doing or I can do what he's doing.

"Our boys matter and their future matters and they are our future CEO's and they can do whatever they put their mind to and we have to let them know that." she concluded.
