Why BMEsTalk?

Research demonstrates...

Black male students benefit from having a Black male teacher, with research findings noting lower dropout rates, fewer disciplinary issues, more positive views of schooling and better test scores.

(Underwood, 2019)

Black Male Educators feel frustrated, socially alone, and disconnected.

(T. Bristol, 2014)

BMEsTalk is addressing the needs of Black Male Educators...

Our Approach

Guided by the framework Ruth King describes in her book Mindful of Race, we create and curate "intentional spaces" designed specifically for BMEs, where we can be safe enough to be vulnerable, challenged, and unedited, so that we can: 

  • Address unique issues we face personally and professionally
  • Strengthen our purpose to rejuvenate and enhance our individual and collective  professional practices
  • Establish professional relationships and gather contact information from one another
