Jermaine Blount is an esteemed author, educator, speaker, and consultant, renowed for "Developing a Winning Mindset" in schools. Jermaine has been making a positive impact in the hearts and minds of students and teachers for more than 25 years as a teacher and school administrator.  As a result of his background, raised as a youth in Trenton, New Jersey, Jermaine incorporates a foundational belief that all students can achieve their goals and dreams through perseverance, self-discipline, and belief, overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles.  As the first in his family to earn both an undergraduate and master's degree, he walked away from a multi-national investment banking firm to dedicate his career as a teacher and school administrator.  Like Harriet Tubman, it was not enough for him to gain freedom of mind, he created a pathway so more could find their way.

He believes we build character and perseverance through personal experiences, reflection, and insight.  Jermaine is married, has two beautiful children, and serves as a New Jersey Governor Award-winning public school educator.
