Building communities of male educators of color who provide a profound additional impact on boys of color

About us

Our Mission is to build communities of male educators of color who provide a profound additional impact on boys of color. Our vision is to retain educators who dismantle the cradle to prison pipeline by establishing a cradle to career pipeline for boys of color. Lewis and Toldson (2013) identified four reasons why male educators of color leave education: 1. Lack of Mentorship 2. Lack of Professional Development 3. Career Opportunities 4. Barriers to Navigate the Profession. With this in mind, our goal is to see 90% of PG educators return back into the education sector better prepared to impact all students and 90% of boys of color in Code Orange matriculate through their K-12 experience prepared for college and career opportunities.

  • Our time at #RCAEXPERIENCE was nothing short of transformative. Alongside our friends from Georgia Power and our new partners from Clark Atlanta University, we’ve delved deep into the heart of innovative education. We’ve witnessed firsthand the magic that happens when high expectations meet engaging classroom environments. From the pulsating energy of music-infused lessons to the power of movement in learning, we’ve seen how dynamic teaching methods can ignite a passion for knowledge in our students.

    Coming off a great holiday week, in reflection of a great field of energy I was able to be a part of at #NABSE24. As a vendor representing Profound Gentlemen, I had the incredible opportunity to connect with passionate educators, thought leaders, and advocates who are all dedicated to transforming the future of education. From meaningful conversations at the vendor table to inspiring words from some of the most dynamic speakers in the field, this conference reminded me why our mission is so vital. Hearing the stories and solutions shared by this community fuels the work we do every day to uplift and retain male educators of color. Looking forward to NABSE 2025 and continuing to build on the connections and inspiration from this unforgettable event. #NABSE2024 #ProfoundGentlemen #EducationMatters #MaleEducatorsOfColor #Networking #Inspiration

    This Thanksgiving week, I'm reflecting on the transformative power of relationships—the cornerstone of our mission at Profound Gentlemen. To every Gent in our community: Your passion for fostering connections and driving change inspires us. You're not just educators; you're catalysts for cultural transformation in your schools and communities. The bonds you're building—with students, colleagues, and mentors—are the engines of our collective impact. Your commitment to personal growth and leadership development ignites a spark that illuminates paths for our young men of color. As we give thanks, we celebrate the vibrant network we've cultivated together. It's through these relationships that we're realizing our vision of a more empowered, inclusive educational landscape. Here's to the connections we've forged and the countless more that will shape our future. Your dedication to this mission is the reason we exist, and for that, we're profoundly grateful. #ProfoundGentlemen #TransformativeRelationships #EducatorImpact
