    Marvis Kilgore is affectionately known as a Champion of Black Male Educators and Visionary Leader, born and raised in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Marvis Kilgore is a passionate advocate for diversity in education and a driving force behind the movement to elevate Black male educators. As the inaugural director of the “Sirtify” program at Normandale Community College, in Bloomington, MN, Kilgore is dedicated to transforming the educational landscape by ensuring that Black men not only see themselves in the teaching profession but thrive within it. Kilgore’s journey is shaped by his own experience of having Black teachers throughout his schooling, starting with pre-K. This early exposure planted the seeds of his commitment to creating pathways for Black men to enter the classroom. Under his leadership, the “Sirtify” program cultivates the next generation of Black male educators, addressing the critical lack of representation that has long existed in the profession. A true innovator, Kilgore is a recognized leader in international education, nonprofit management, and strategic communication. He spent nearly a decade as an ESL lecturer and program coordinator at the Community College of Qatar, where his cross-cultural expertise helped shape global education initiatives. His teaching experience also includes roles in Houston, Texas, where he taught elementary bilingual math and science through Teach for America. Known for his relentless energy, passion, and strategic vision, Kilgore continues to inspire, uplift, and transform the education landscape. Through his leadership, he is not just shaping careers—he is changing the face of education, creating lasting impact both locally and globally.
