I had the honor of delivering the 2025 keynote speech for the graduating class at United Charter High School for Advanced Math and Science II, located in the Bronx, NY.This was a full-circle moment for me, as I was born and raised in NYC and had the opportunity to teach in the same borough I grew up in, Brooklyn, NY.My message focused on staying connected to your WHY, also known as your WHY-FI network and discovering your PURPOSE.Over the past couple of years, there have been many changes in my life. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, God reminded me that there is always something new to learn and discover. That’s the beauty of life. Even though I delivered this speech to the graduating class, I was also speaking to myself and reminding myself to stay connected to my WHY.Shout out to all the 2025 graduates! Embrace vulnerability, feed your imagination, and stay connected to your loved ones. Most importantly, never forget where you come from. Stay rooted! 📽️ @abovereproach #graduation #graduation2025 #blackmenteach #teachersofinstagram #3wisemen #blackeducators by @prophessuh_x

10 years ago Jermaine was a student in my Global Studies class. 10 years later he’s a PhD candidate 📚. During these past 10 years we’ve both evolved in many ways as black men. As an educator I’ve always believed im simultaneously a teacher and student. Take a listen to Part 1 of our conversation about our journey 💯✊🏾 Shout out to 🎥@abovereproach #theneighborhoodrolemodel #bwhealthy #dontleave #nycmenteach #blackeducators #blackmaleeducators #educators #nyceducators #nycteachers #mentalhealthawareness by @prophessuh_x

Shout out to all the Class of 2027 Graduates! Students keep me inspired in ways words can’t describe 💯 I had the honor of being the commencement speaker at the Mott Hall HS Graduation alongside Assemblyman Al Taylor. The focus was on Arturo’s Intelligence aka the real AI and why every graduate has a Story That Matters! Graduation was held in Harlem at The Schomburg (Arturo’s last name) Center for Research in Black Culture. Arturo collected thousands of artifacts to preserve the beautiful history of black people around the world. Get familiar if you’re not! #classof2026 #graduates#4theculture by @prophessuh_x

Canarsie Flossy regardless of my location ! Check this out… I realized everyone knows I was once a high school teacher and maybe some of you still think I’m a high school teacher… technically I’ll always be a teacher at heart but over the past 9 years I don’t think anyone really understands what I do as a leader in education… I’ll make it a little more clear for y’all real soon because some really dope things have brewed and are brewing fi di yout dem and schools 👊🏾💯 Do me a favor and go follow @sel4theculture by @prophessuh_x

So we (We Do It 4 the Culture) launched and executed our first School Cypher Summit with one of the nicest and hottest young rappers out right now, @lareezymusic !We linked up in New Orleans at his former high school and hosted a mental health panel with him, his Chief Impact Officer, and two seniors. He debuted a verse from an upcoming song and held a cypher with students and the legendary MC Timothy David Jones !Jamila often asks people if they remember Teen Summit and most of the time, they do. I remember watching Teen Summit as a young’n and learning some valuable life lessons.Seems like it might be making a return to your school next… how does that sound? Imagine this existing hand in hand with some engaging adult learning related to SEL!?
