Abstract

With being two male educators of color who are seeking to enter academia, the authors hope that their respective stories will resonate with different communities, especially communities of color. If their stories can impact and change the life of at least one person, that is sufficient enough for them. Diving into educational leadership is not for the faint hearted, but through their trials and tribulations, both independently and as a united pair, they now know that their destiny is to be that source of strength, inspiration, and encouragement that they needed as they evolved into the men that stand before you today. With this chapter, they want to create a new world, where all educators can walk hand in hand, despite one's ethnicity, race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. A new world where they can unapologetically share their stories and experiences without any concern of facing shame or judgement.
