\nSpecial to the AFRO<\/p>\n

When Terrell Arrington was trying to steer an academic path through Prince George\u2019s Community College in 2009, the instructor whose guidance he valued most was Brian Hamlin, he said.<\/p>\n

Hamlin, known to the young men he mentors as \u201cHeat,\u201d was able to get the nearly seven-foot-tall 19 year old to focus on his goals, excluding doubters.<\/p>\n

\u201cHeat has an uncanny way of asking the right questions based on the information he knows about you. In one of our earliest conversations, he suggested I read \u2018Think and Grow Rich\u2019 by Napoleon Hill. I was 19. That moment set the foundation for the path I still walk today,\u201d Arrington said.<\/p>\n

Now a budding fashion entrepreneur, Arrington is one of the first graduates of the Diverse Male Student Initiative, a PGCC program aimed at male students in a two-year program of instruction and guidance.<\/p>\n

Hamlin is one of the founders of the program that now operates under a $3.7 million grant that directs an average of 150 male students a year.<\/p>\n

Hamlin guides each student individually, pushing them on academics, prodding them to wring the most out of their abilities, Arrington said.<\/p>\n

Established in 2009 with two students, the Diverse Male Student Initiative (DSMI) claims a retention rate of 85 percent and an 89 percent graduation rate.<\/p>\n

Arrington went on to the Academy of Art, a fashion and design school in San Francisco, Calif.,\u00a0 and recently launched Mouton Noir, a menswear brand based in New York City.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a developing second-hand marketplace app that allows people 6-foot-3 inches to 7-foot-3 inches to rent and purchase clothes and accessories from current and former NBA players\u2019 luxury closets at a discounted price. Before these achievements took shape, they were first conversations with Heat,\u201d Arrington told the AFRO.<\/p>\n

DMSI is part of the growing number of academic programs aimed at bolstering education for young men with Black male educators, according to education observers who note Department of Education statistics that men comprise only 25.7 per cent of public school teachers.<\/p>\n

Curtis Valentine, school board member at Prince George\u2019s County, co-director at Reinventing America\u2019s Schools Project at Progressive Policy Institute, and co-founder of Male Educator Network of Prince George\u2019s County Public Schools (MENofPGCPS), said he is on a mission to impact the future generation of students, (boys and girls) by reimagining the profession of teaching for the next generation of educators.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor many, teaching is a woman\u2019s profession, and the over-feminization of teaching has led to only two of the teachers in America being Black Men,\u201d Real Men Teach is a movement to reimagine the teaching profession in a new way centering a diverse collection of Black Men and normalizing images of men in education in their own light.\u201d<\/p>\n

Real Men Teach, the largest organization of Black men in education, is an initiative that grew out of MENofPGCPS. The movement, as defined by Valentine, allows Black males to play a significant role in education, he said.<\/p>\n

Hamlin said his teaching methods center around fostering powerful relationships with the student while a plan to guide them to where they want to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have conversations with Brian and didn\u2019t initially realize to the degree he was filling my spirit with positive reinforcement,\u201d Arrington said. \u201cHe would break you down and build you back up. After having the privilege of being under Brian\u2019s tutelage for two years, I can honestly say, I\u2019m living out all my dreams.\u201d Reginald Williams, the author of \u201cA Marginalized Voice: Devalued, Dismissed, Disenfranchised & Demonized\u201d writes on Black men and Holistic Health concerns.
