Brother Breathe: Celebrating Black Men in Education

Описание: This week on Brother Breathe, we highlight during Black History Month the brilliance, leadership, and impact of Black men in education.

I’m joined by Dr. Chris Collins, scholar, advocate, and educator, for a powerful conversation on purpose, identity, and the work of supporting Black men across educational spaces. Dr. Collins is a recent graduate with his PhD in Human Development and Family Science from the University of Georgia. His background is in youth development, public policy, and research. Recipient of the University of Georgia College of Family and Consumer Science Legislative Leadership fellowship, where he worked as a legislative aide in the Georgia House of Representatives, engaging in public policy and family research. He was also a recipient of the Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE) fellowship, where he worked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, conducting evaluation research on community-based programs and policies. Before pursuing his PhD, he spent over a decade as a youth development professional in various leadership roles with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta, supporting youth educational and developmental outcomes.
