The role of principal can be a lonely one, which is why it is essential to find meaningful support networks. That's especially true for educators like Edward Anderson, Damon Qualls, and Farrell Thomas of the Bold Leadership Network. They joined us to discuss the unique challenges and successes that come with leading as a Black male educator, and how connecting with each other has improved their practice, well-being, and the school communities they serve.

Edward Anderson is executive director of On Track Greenville, leveraging public and private partnerships to keep kids on track to graduate from high school.

Damon Qualls is a former principal from Greenville, South Carolina, and co-founder and consultant at the Bold Leadership Network.
