Dr. S. Renee Mitchell is an educator, entrepreneur, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated former newspaper journalist, and the visionary founder of a nationally award-winning youth leadership-development initiative called: I Am M.O.R.E. (Making Ourselves Resilient Everyday). This organization is one of only a few in the country with a trifecta seal of approval: Research-, evidence- and theory-based. It offers an upstream prescription for Black youth who are internally suffering from being spirit-murdered in classrooms, society and within families, to find joy, purpose and transformation. Dr. Mitchell is a nationally recognized expert in culturally relevant social-emotional learning (SEL) and healing from racial trauma. Her unrelenting dedication to community uplift has also garnered her numerous local and national awards. Her upcoming book is titled: "In My Power, I Empower: Moving Black Youth from Spirit-Murder to Emotional Emancipation."
