Abstract

In recent literature, scholars have begun to show how Black male educators are being spiritually murdered by a system that was never intended to house Black bodies. Black male school counselors specifically are as magical as unicorns and are as powerful as some of our favorite childhood superheroes. Their strength and mystical presence often makes the world forget that they are also human. To their detriment, Black male school counselors are being recruited to use their superpowers while simultaneously being spiritually murdered by the same systems recruiting them. In this manuscript, I aim to: (1) articulate how the school counseling profession is a historically White institution and how it is spiritually murdering Black men in the profession; (2) explore how the intersection of being both Black and male influences the experiences of Black male school counselors; and (3) use the Ecological Social Justice School Counseling theory to provide recommendations for using antiracism, equity, and social justice to identify and dismantle school counseling as a historically White institution and to support the unique needs of Black male school counselors.

Black Male School Counselors Alliance [Blackmalesca] . (2024). Welcome to Black Male School Counselors Alliance. The field of school counseling has consistently been a profession dominated by women, and the gap of female to male, especially Black males, remains a big deficit in regards to creating a more diverse school counseling population. The mission of BMSCA is to recruit, mentor, and retain Black males into the school counseling profession. BMSCA will be an influential advocate to affect systemic barriers in the school counseling profession. The vision of the Black Male School Counselors Alliance (BMSCA) is to build a global network of BMSCs that would attract, inspire and impact current and future generations. We believe the presence and unique skills of Black male school counselors is a catalyst to transform the educational community. Follow us on this journey to increase the number of qualified, creative, and impactful Black males in the school counseling profession. Our Motto “Lifting as We Climb”, reminds us that it is our responsibility to dismantle systemic barriers and bring the next generation of Black males into the school counseling community.
