Also as a credentialed Master Teacher, he helps teachers reach every student. As a much sought-after and highly effective Unconscious Bias, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion keynote speaker, Dr. Brown skillfully addresses the impact of stereotypes. He credits much of his success to the luxury of humble beginnings of being reared by a single parent mother in abject poverty of the inner city housing projects infested with gangs, drugs and violence. His oldest sibling and only brother Oscar was murdered when Adolph was only eleven years old. Young Adolph often received a respite when he was sent to spend summers with his grandfather in rural farming country, and when he was sent to the library for time-outs in elementary school. Adolph became the first in his family of five to participate in Head Start, graduate high school, and attend college.

Dont' Judge a Book by its Cover 

Literally, one cannot tell the contents of a book by just looking at the material used to hold it together. A book with a torn and worn cover may be more important, more entertaining, or more useful than a book bound in a flashier manner. The same can be extended to relationships. The prejudice of making decisions solely based on outward appearance could cost one the chance of a meaningful encounter. This is a journey that will provide opportunities for self-exploration of one's implicit biases, the tools to adjust automatic patterns of thinking, and ultimatelystrategies to eliminate discriminatory behaviors.

Learning Objectives:

  1. At the end of the session, attendees will be able to avoid the 'perjorative tradition" of falling into the trap of only looking at the surface of people, things, and ideas without taking the time and effort to delve deeper into them.

As one of the pioneer research investigators of “The School to Prison Pipeline,” Dr. Brown knows that understanding structural inequities is only the start, however dismantling the foundations from which these structures are built leads to solutions. He is a servant-leader at heart, a life-long social justice advocate and a career teacher & business educator. He is admired around the world for his simple and direct “Real Talk,” and powerful, universal and timeless teachings. Dr. Brown is best known for inspiring all who hear him to learn, laugh and lead, while as a one of the most effective diversity and inclusion speakers, simultaneously reducing unconscious implicit bias at every turn.

Why Fit In When You Were Born To Stand Out? Saying Goodbye To Negative Peer Pressure!

Whenever Dr. Brown is asked "How are you?"  He vehemently responds "OUTSTANDING!!!"  He believes that to truly be "outstanding,"  one would have to "stand out."  Young people today get so caught up on how the world sees them and how to get the most social media attention, that they lose themselves.  Once they realize that they were born to stand out, with the talents they were gifted, they can live a more filling and compelling life, that changes not only the lives for themselves, but for any person with whom they come in contact.

Learning Objectives 
1.  Students will learn to grow within themselves to stand out, and not try to live in a manner that is untrue to oneself.

2.  Students will learn to grow in physical, emotional, health and financial areas all to not only help them find themselves, but in the end making them stand out, due to the amount of self-confidence they glow with.
