1

The Challenge

Few communities provide an adequate space for authentic connection, vulnerability, and the safety required for transparent engagement. Courageous and truthful interactions are required for real change to occur as it relates to complex inequities.

2

The Right Mindset

The BOLD Leadership Network is committed to making a positive impact on the greater community by providing customized fellowship programming and an affinity group for Black male professionals, expert-level consultancy for organizations, and community wide conversations to highlight the part we all play in improving experiences for all our neighbors.

The Solution

BOLD firmly believes that willingly acknowledging the truth, building knowledge through factual sources, and providing hope through sharing experiences work together to act as a catalyst to improve systems of inequity.

The year 2014 marked the first time that more students of color than whites were enrolled in American public schools. Yet according to the national data, black male educators still only make up a mere 2% of the workforce.
 

In a 2017 Johns Hopkins study, research showed that having just one black educator in elementary school for black males may reduce the risk of dropping out by 39%. Black male educators can make all the difference. 

"If you want to go fast, go alone. 
If you want to go far, go together.”
