The 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project is a male mentoring program founded in Miami-Dade Public Schools & adopted into Duval County Public Schools in 2015.
Visited with students at Oceanway Middle School today. Shared my path to becoming a journalist and why I give through Tenikka’s Books for Kids. The students were engaged and asked great questions. Thank you Mr. Lee and the @5000RoleDuval for the invite!
I had a great visit in Tallahassee meeting with lawmakers, activists, and @5000RoleModels students.
I stand with the Florida Democrats in their fight for freedom, lowering everyday costs, and prioritizing issues that matter to everyday Floridians.
This historic group of 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project graduates are beginning their higher education journey at Tennessee State University on full scholarships. @5000RoleDuval@5000RoleBCPS
#TBT The 19-20 school year ended w/our schools closing then shifting online due to the pandemic. Our students/staff persevered & celebrated graduation during July last year. Looking ahead, we are excited about the possibilities, even as we are aware of the challenges. #WeAre5000
We were honored to stand with our students yesterday evening as our six TSU Presidential Scholars were recognized by our Superintendent Dr. Diana Greene and the DCPS School Board. We're excited for you all, great things await you in this next chapter! #WeAre5000#CollegeBound
Great job by the young men of TPHS serving as ambassadors at the @impactchurchjax Back to School program this weekend. They were able to meet and greet many community members and make connections for the future.

“I knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Maurice Bell said. “Not only has this scholarship boosted my motivation for college, I know that later on down the road attending an HBCU will help pave the way for my future.” @JaxLeeHS#WeAre5000
Disappointed after not getting into the college he applied for, Maurice Bell said he lost some of his motivation.
Then Bell — who would be graduating from Lee High School — received a phone call that brought everything back into focus.
