The Power of Investing in Education
Dr. Mabry’s Endowment seeks to fortify a legacy of investing in postsecondary education by funding scholarships, educational initiatives, and programs that nurture the academic and personal growth of students attending these prestigious institutions. Investing in colleges is not just an investment in education; it’s an investment in social mobility, empowerment, and the enduring spirit of resilience.
Dr. Mabry knows firsthand the life-changing impact that education can have. As the first in his family to graduate from high school, and later, a college graduate from Tougaloo, he has seen how education has the power to shatter barriers and rewrite the trajectory of one’s life. His Endowment helps ensure that this same opportunity is available to others who might otherwise be overlooked.
 
The Power of Change
Dr. Mabry’s philosophy is rooted in transformation—the idea that one’s past does not have to define their future. His personal journey from incarceration and hardship to becoming a nationally recognized educator and motivational speaker exemplifies this belief. Through his Endowment, he is empowering students to embrace the belief that they, too, can break the cycle, defy the odds, and become the leaders of tomorrow.
This fund will support scholarships, mentorship programs, and initiatives aimed at fostering academic success, leadership development, and community engagement. By investing in the education of young minds, Dr. Mabry is not only changing lives but also contributing to the broader change needed in society.
