In this latest episode of Raising Kings, I sat down with some of the incredible staff of Dreams Academy to talk about what it really means to raise and educate kings. They share the joy, the challenges, and the nuances of our journey—what it looks like to pour into Black boys every day, to believe in them, to hold them accountable, and to love them through growth. This conversation isn’t polished or performative. It’s honest, it’s hopeful, and it’s rooted in purpose. We don’t run from the hard parts—we embrace them, learn from them, and keep building. Tap in and hear directly from the people in the classrooms and hallways doing the work. 👑
