Our goal is to empower Black men to discovery teaching. Districts have struggled to recruit, retain, and retire Black men from their classrooms.
We strive to increase the number of Black men who discover long-term careers in teaching.
We want to assist Black households in attaining financial freedom from their opportunities when achieving their highest academic potential.
We lead with empathy, act with integrity, experience growth through struggle, and learn through reflection.
We cultivate ecosystems that help Black males thrive in all aspects of the school setting from K-career.

We unfairly ask Black men to seek a career in a setting that does not appreciate or respect them. When schools do not act by centering the experience of Black males, there will continuously be a shortage of Black male teachers.
When we think about recruiting, retaining, and retiring Black males from schools, we need to act early.
The experiences that Black males have when they first enter schools, the opportunities they have in college, and the environments in which they work, all contribute to their representation in the field.
