About the Author

Mr. Jamarious JeanRenoit is currently a Nation Builder (an Educator) in the Newark Public Schools district, who holds a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and almost two decades of "Nationbuilding" experience. Raised by a working class family in Newark, New Jersey, there were many socio-economic challenges that he had to encounter yet never wavered in overcoming. Even as a young boy, Mr. JeanRenoit preferred to resist the plans others drew out for his life. Doing so was not easy; thus, he was labeled like a meat package with all types of humiliating names. Ultimately, Jamarious maintained great faith in ensuring that he would always be the denominator, and his circumstances only a vulnerable numerator, in the fraction of life. . In this literary work, there is a poignant, straightforward account of the ways in which we need more males as educators in every capacity throughout the school environment and/or community. The resounding message of the work is clear: in the 21st century males are no longer content being limited to setting the big paycheck on the table to meet the family's needs. NO! Heterosexual males are now embracing multidimensional, multilateral roles, even in the realm of domesticity. In the age of Obama, there is a new Male around to be better husbands and fathers than ever before. Simply call them "breadmakers." Mr. JeanRenoit lives in Bethlehem,PA, is currently pursuing his Master's degree, and overseeing a small tutoring venture. In his leisure, he loves to spend time with family and friends singing, dancing, and traveling!
