Even as Titan gets older and begins developing a personality of his own, Rowland nonetheless wants to ensure he maintains a firm understanding of his culture. Speaking with People, the 40-year-old opened up about how she's encouraging the now 7-year-old to love his Black roots.

"There's Black art all around my house," Rowland said. "I literally am like, 'There can't be any identity crises in this house!'

"I remember that was a big thing for me as a kid," recalls the star. "I didn't see enough people around on the walls or anything like that looked like me. So everywhere you turn in our house, there is definitely Black art; you see a representation of yourself."

In addition to the visual reminders, Rowland also revealed, she and her husband emphasize the practice of daily affirmations.

"I was like, 'Son, we are Black. We are beautiful. We are rich in love and history' and this and that. I broke it down for him in a solid maybe three minutes, and I didn't shut up," she says — but her words paid off. "That night, I heard my husband giving him a bath and he goes, 'Daddy, I am Black and handsome and great,'" she told People.

"It's actually written on his mirror: 'I am smart. I am brave. I am kind. I am wonderful. I am Black. I am excited.'

"We read different stories to him as far as African American and African history is concerned. It really means a lot to us for him to know his roots and who he is," she emphasized.
