I am striving to give educators and students a true look at many factors that daunts academic achievement. My platform tackles the experiences and challenges that students face in communities and educational environments. By focusing on real-life topics such as, bullying, life skills, classroom management, and more, he seeks to give students a positive outlook on teaching and learning and the ability to balance education and their lived experiences.
As an advocate for education and student success, I travel around the country encouraging educators to focus on the whole student and motivating youth to never give up on hope.
Thank you

"Mr. Mabry I was deeply honored to listen to you speak today on your life and how you succeeded because you didn’t let people control who you were and that touched me and caused me to make up my mind right then and there that I need to continue to follow my dream and become somebody one day. I always let people get to me and tell me I can’t make it because I am not that smart but I know what I’m capable of doing and I know that I’m a very smart young man…
Today listening to you made me change my whole mind set and now I believe in myself and know that I can do it and I may have struggles in Math but I believe that with God all things are possible."
