His research complements this by contextualizing education, power, and resistance, moving beyond rigid frameworks to discover profound experiences of teaching, learning, and healing.
He focuses on clarifying the impact of oppression on Black communities and other marginalized groups within educational, healing, and societal arenas. Simultaneously, he Investigates how these communities have creatively utilized education and culture to forge lives of resilience and transcendence.
