Coach Ed Bradley shares his passion for helping young people discover their identity, purpose, and power beyond society's limiting labels. As a transitional life coach and former educator, he brings a wealth of experience in guiding youth to see their true potential by reconnecting with their historical roots.

• Building an African-American studies curriculum that shows students they are "more than a product of struggle" but "a legacy of brilliance"
• Highlighting how Black history began with kingdoms, libraries, universities and innovations—not with chains and slavery
• Explaining why African Americans uniquely had their history "ripped and raped out of us" creating a disconnect from ancestral knowledge
• Demonstrating how much of American culture (music, food, governance) is rooted in African traditions
• Using historical figures like Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells, and Dr. Charles Drew as mentors who overcame impossible odds
• Encouraging youth to "stop asking the world for permission to be whole" and take action in their communities
• Emphasizing that "access without awareness is wasted" in today's information-rich environment
• Reminding young Black men that problem-solving is in their blood: "You are a fixer because your ancestors are fixers"
