Dawn N. Hicks Tafari (Author)

An illuminating portrait of Black male teachers’ lives, told through the language of HipHop and counterstory.

In The Journey of Kamau Miller, Dawn N. Hicks Tafari creates Kamau Miller, a composite character shaped from interviews with Black male teachers to reveal their everyday realities, hopes, and struggles in schools and communities. Written in the tradition of Derrick Bell’s chronicles, this book blends storytelling, research, and HipHop to bring their voices to the forefront.

This book highlights:

• The lived experiences of Black men in the classroom and beyond.
• HipHop counter-storytelling as a tool for truth-telling and cultural affirmation.
• Powerful insights into what it means to teach, lead, and persist in education.
• A call to action for rethinking how schools support, prepare, and retain Black male educators.

Bold, creative, and accessible, The Journey of Kamau Miller gives readers more than a framework – it offers a deeply human story that affirms the voices of Black men teachers and challenges us to imagine education differently
