“He loves back to school,” Rowland tells PEOPLE on Tuesday, Sept. 10. “I mean, thank God. He started a new school last year, and we had a goddess of a teacher. I’m so grateful to her.”

“And now he’s excited about sports,” she adds. “He sees all his other buddies there. He’s happy. And so that makes me really excited for him, but he seems to love it. So far.”

As for his back to school gear, the actress and singer shares that he’ll be reusing some of the “same stuff he had last year” — including bigger items like his backpack. Though, she noted her husband,Tim Weatherspoon, would change that if he could.

“Like, ‘that backpack is just fine, you’re going to use that one right there.’ You know?” Rowland recalls telling her son. “His dad is like, ‘I want to get him a new backpack.’ I was like, ‘Why? He’s got the backpack? He’s fine.’ You know?”

“Look, it’s just stuff you’re going to put in there. It’s not like you need anything new,” she shares. “And if we have excess around the house, we like to make sure we’re able to give that away too.”

“I was too close, and because I was too close, I realized I have to speak too loud. Like I always have to speak too loud about this, and we should all speak too loud about it,” she urges. “Doesn’t matter if you’re black or white or whatever. We should be speaking up for our sisters, because that’s who we are as women.”

“I encourage you to give, if you can, when you can give,” she adds.
