Meet Dr. Moss
Mentor. Educator. Game Changer. Role Model
The critical problem that must be addressed is that Black boys are not being successful academically, behaviorally, or socially in comparison to other groups. My desire to do this work stems from years of attending public schools, as well as working in public schools, and witnessing the disproportionalities in suspensions.
As a Teach For America Charlotte Corps Member, I taught 6th and 7th grade math. I also went on to serve as the Dean of Students for fifth and sixth grade. Witnessing educators who were not working to uplift all students, more specifically Black males, inspired me to become an educator and be an agent of change as it relates to these disparities.
To address the needs of Black boys, I went on to create an all-male mentorship program, called The Gentlemen's League. I then went on to become the proud Principal at Bruce Elementary School where I was the youngest Shelby County School's principal and the first Teach For America Alum to lead a district school. Through The Gentlemen's League, I founded Shelby County Schools first ever Elementary Basketball League to provide positive outlets for Boys of Color. In 2020, I graduated with my Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University of Memphis. My dissertation topic was #BLACKBOYSMATTER:
Dismantling Systems of Oppression for Black Boys through implementation of School-Based Mentorship Programs. I now have the opportunity to serve as a School Design Partner with Transcend. In this role I partner with school and district leaders to redesign schools and implement innovative projects to improve student achievement.
I do what I do every single day for every Black boy or man who was ever told they couldn’t. For every child who couldn’t discover their voice. For every Black boy who thought he wasn’t good enough, for every Black boy who is wrongfully labeled. I do this because every student deserves an educator who will push them to reach their fullest potential.
