““1 of 10 black men that I love” - Brandon Leake, Spoken Word Artist, AGT

”We need to give A 100% Total Appreciation/Shout out to GREAT EDUCATOR, Davis High School Teacher, Mr. Renaldo Jr Rucker for giving so many kids, (including my 16 year old daughter), the opportunity to take a trip of a lifetime tour to see many of the HBCU’s located in the Southern States, this past year! Mr. Rucker, words cannot express what a wonderful job you are doing with our youth here in The Stanislaus County. Thank you! WELL DONE!” -Tasha, Parent, Stanislaus County HBCU Tour


”Renaldo’s passion, commitment, and relentless pursuit of educational equity for the students of Stanislaus County has already positively impacted hundreds of families. I applaud his effort to scale up the support, outreach, and experiences he offers traditionally under-served youth in our community. His willingness to offer positive and creative solutions to break generational cycles of unseen potential is the exact type of disruption we need. There is no person I would trust more to do this work than Renaldo.” -Lyndsey Bird, Educational Consultant ”
