Black men in the U.S. are more likely to be professional football players than public school psychologists.
It’s a startling statistic. But for Chase McCullum, a Black man who became a school psychologist over a decade ago, it’s just reality.
“Education is not a field that I think a lot of people from my background would typically pursue,” he says.
Growing up in southern Mississippi during the ’90s, McCullum planned on becoming a lawyer.
“I didn’t even know what a school psychologist was.”
