Have you ever felt like some of your most defining qualities, qualities that are integral to who you are as a person, are viewed as barriers to success in the eyes of others? This is the reality for most Black men navigating the education system. Challenges like stereotyping, bias, and being part of a system that, at its core, wasn’t built with them in mind, are a reality and more often than not negatively impact the experiences of those students affected.
In today's episode, I continue my conversation with Danny L. Crumble, who shares more about his experiences as a Black male navigating education, starting from his early school days through to his graduate studies. Danny speaks candidly about confronting stereotypes, redefining his relationship with the attainment of knowledge, and how these and other lessons inform his work today with students in higher education. .
Tune in and listen to the twenty-ninth episode of I Can Do This, Show Me How! to hear Danny’s inspiring perspective on equity, resilience, and reimagining education.
