KC: Building the Foundation
Both Jackson and White quickly determined
that what they were attempting to build could
not be and should not be work sustained by
just the two. They needed to invite additional
brothers to collaborate and help develop this
community. Jackson immediately thought of
Demarcus Merritt, Sr., has been dedicated,
hardworking, and passionate about
creating spaces for Men of Color to gain the
knowledge and skills to be successful in this
field. Merritt has served as Secretary of the
SEAHO Executive Board and has served in
several Faculty appointments for 2020 - 2022
SEAHO, ACUHO-I, and other organizations.
White knew the group would benefit from
having a major King chess piece added on
board, and it had to be none other than a
regional and international giant, Nyerere
Tryman; who has a long and well-documented history of leadership, impact, and service to not only the various
institutions worked for but also within SEAHO, ACUHO-I, and several other major platforms. Two of Tryman's
most notable roles of demonstrated servant leadership were being President of the 2020 - 2021 SEAHO
Executive Board and the 2022 - 2023 ACUHO-I Regional Affiliations Director. With Merritt and Tryman joining
the Collective, Jackson and White knew they had all the foundational pieces in place to develop ways to get
the ball rolling and launch the community. They wanted to make sure that they provided something impactful
and sustainable.
SEAHO 2023 in Richmond, Virginia,
presented as a prime time to launch the
initiative. To insulate the infrastructure and
widen the number of supportive minds
and hands to sustain the Kingz Collective
movement, they identified and reached out
to nearly 20 other Black and Brown male
professionals in the SEAHO region who
they believed could play vital roles and help
to kick things off. The men present were
Calvin Mosely, Marrese Whitsett Jr, Kenzel
Hill, Alonzo Bouldin Jr, Christopher Moon,
Dante Hill, Derrick McReynolds, JT Taylor,
Dr. Walter Snipes, Dr. Kendall Pete, Dr.
DeAndre Howard, and Darryl Glenn. The
select group met on February 28, 2023, at
a local Black-owned Richmond restaurant
called Lily Pearl to break bread and
engage in fellowship before the conference
commenced. The fellowship of dialogue
and community was a much-needed shared
space to exhale and connect, which was
as rich and soul-satisfying as the soul
food selections they ate. The dinner was
amazing and served as a sign that we were
on the right track! The Kingz Collective
Leadership Group shared the blueprint for
what Jackson developed. Additionally, they
asked the other men if they would be willing to serve as leaders within the Kingz Collective community. It was
essential to have these brothers on board. It engaged as they brought an incredible depth and diversity of
experiences and positionalities and demonstrated various levels of leadership and impact throughout SEAHO
and the profession. It positioned them to cast a wider net regarding mentorship and sponsorship. Additionally,
