Inspired by research. Empowered by resilience. Told through the experiences of rural Black men.
The Ascenders began with curiosity and a question that never left me. What would it look like to return to my research and share the stories of rural Black men and my own in a new way? This book reimagines that research in a more accessible manner. It celebrates the journeys, wisdom, and strength of rural Black men who rose through higher education and now light the path for others to follow.
More than a book, The Ascenders is a reminder that our stories hold power, our communities carry wisdom, and our roots can always lead us higher.
