    S4E4: Coron Brinson Speaks on The Black Teacher Project, Support for Black Educators Under Non-Black Leadership, High Expectations for Black Scholars, and More

    S4E4: Coron Brinson Speaks on The Black Teacher Project, Support for Black Educators Under Non-Black Leadership, High Expectations for Black Scholars, and More For results to take place in the direction of executing a mission, sometimes uncomfortable conversations need to take place. As a melanated family, we have to hold each other accountable and correct those who are causing harm to our movement, but also show gratitude for those demonstrating positive actions or making progress for the overall benefit of our melanated scholars.  We vent it out by indulging in a quick S.O.B.E. style rant to crack open the door and welcome in uncomfortable but needed education conversations, then transition into the solution for the State of Black Education. The podcast serves as a safe space to have those accountability conversations, while bridging the gap of understanding and providing clear action steps in our fight to elevate the educational experience for our blessed and melanated scholars, while maneuvering in an education system populated by uncultured and seasoning deficient individuals. Excited to have this conversation with you. Hosted By: Quis Evans

    Kamar O’Guinn has dedicated his educational career to uplifting and empowering students and their families. He is the founding manager of Berkeley Unified School District’s (BUSD) African American Success Project and the architect of Umoja - an affinity-based cultural enrichment program designed to ensure the success of Black students. Additionally, he helped develop BUSD’s African American Success Framework. The AASF is a multi-year intervention created to disrupt longstanding inequities facing Black students. Before joining BUSD, Mr. O'Guinn was an Assistant Principal of an Education For Change public charter school in Oakland, California. There, O’Guinn played a vital role in establishing an organizational culture and outcome-centered educational orientation that challenged staff to deliver a high-quality school option for students from across the city. O’Guinn believes shared knowledge and collaboration are critical levers for course corrective educational initiatives. Private and public organizations have commissioned his expertise for professional development and research projects. As an Oakland, California, native Kamar credits his community for helping him to understand the relationship between education and social mobility. He holds a Bachelor’s of Arts degree from California State University East Bay, where he graduated summa cum laude.
