We had the pleasure of having guest Rickey Townsend Jr on the podcast to share his story and the story behind Crowned Scholars.
Rickey Townsend Jr., Co-Founder of Crowned Scholars, is a dynamic leader dedicated to empowering young Black boys through mentorship and education. A math teacher by profession, Rickey’s personal journey growing up without a father drives his passion for guiding boys toward success. Crowned Scholars focuses on instilling positive habits, leadership skills, and a sense of purpose in the next generation. Through initiatives like the "Black Male Educator Conversation," Rickey is reshaping narratives around Black male youth and educators in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Crowned Scholars is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that focuses on helping to educate and develop Black boys through STEAM academic enrichment, building healthy habits, and 1:1 mentoring.
Their vision is to help our young men recognize and embrace their unexposed gifts, while also educating them on what it means to be a young black man in today’s society. Our essential focus is to build healthy habits that will equip our scholars to take on life’s challenges. We believe that every young man that is created, is already CROWNED:Confident / Respectful / Owners / Wise / Noble / Educated / Dignified.
