In this powerful episode of Brave Voices in Education, Craig sits down with author, educator, and unapologetic truth-teller Kwame Sarfo-Mensah—founder of Identity Talk 4 Educators—to explore what it means to teach, lead, and liberate as a Black man in education.

Kwame unpacks the urgency of disrupting dominant narratives that silence Black male educators and learners, shares his journey from classroom teacher to nationally recognized thought leader, and breaks down why culturally responsive teaching is not a buzzword—it’s a mandate. Together, they explore questions of legacy, resistance, and purpose.

Key Takeaways:

• Why representation alone isn’t enough

• The impact of Black male educators on student identity and outcomes

• How Kwame navigated burnout—and turned pain into platform

• Building schools that affirm every child’s genius
