Q. How is Your Work Changing The Narrative?
My research interests are directly aligned with reframing the conversations about Black male academic achievement where their success is not an exception, but the expectation! Furthermore, in my work at UMBC I am developing the next wave of educators who will have direct impact with minority children in urban areas.
