Becoming w/Cameron Frazier

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. (Maya Angelou)

In this episode, Marc and Tavarus dive into a rich conversation with the founder and CEO of THE First HBCU Themed Elementary School, Cameron Frazier.

Amongst many other accolades, Cameron is the proud Founder and Principal of Becoming Collegiate Academy; a first of its kind aimed at educating and raising up strong students who are proud of their heritage and are ultimately poised to be world changers, just like Cameron. He’s a “son” of the Eastside community of Jacksonville, FL, where he returned and spent his early years of teaching as a way to give back and pay it forward.

In this interview, Cameron shares his passion, his vision, his dreams, and pieces of his story with Marc and Tavarus in a candid and heartfelt way. He speaks about his drive to help Black and Brown students experience a sense of “belonging” similar to the ethos that is so often experienced and celebrated on the campuses of HBCUs across America. He believes this model will not only instill pride in these students, but will also help lift the HBCU experience up beyond age old negative stereotypes, and elevate them and their unique communities to their rightful place in the history of this great country.
