Raising Brilliant Black Boys Workshop

Empowering Parents, Empowering Sons: Your Journey Starts Here
Welcome, Parents!
Let me ask you a few questions:
- Are you constantly worrying about your son’s academic future?
- Do you find it challenging to communicate with his teachers?
- Are you looking for effective reading tips to help build a strong educational foundation for your son?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, know that you are not alone. The challenges brought on by the pandemic and other social issues have left many parents feeling confused, overwhelmed, and uncertain about their sons’ educational futures.
As a parent of Black sons myself, I understand exactly how you feel. I also know that fear and uncertainty shouldn’t hold you back from advocating for your child’s success. You don’t need to be an expert—you just need to be involved and dedicated.
Introducing the "Raising Brilliant Black Boys" Course
With over 35 years of experience in education, I’ve witnessed firsthand the unique challenges Black and Brown boys face in the classroom—challenges that can be discouraging for both children and parents who want the best for them.
That’s why I created the “Raising Brilliant Black Boys” course—a powerful resource designed to help you:
- Build stronger connections with your son
- Communicate effectively with teachers
- Advocate confidently for your child’s educational success
- Access practical tools and strategies to help close literacy gaps and dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline


You Are Not Alone—Let’s Work Together
This digital, downloadable course is designed with your busy life in mind. You can participate at your own pace, whenever it’s convenient for you.
As your son’s first teacher, your role is invaluable. What you do at home has a profound impact on his learning journey in school. By working together, we can give your son the strong start he deserves—because your involvement is essential to his success.
Are you ready to take the next step?
Start your journey today and become the advocate your son needs.
