Jonathan Max Guy
Program Instructor
My name is Jonathan Max, and I am a Senior at Fordham University. I am studying for a Business Administration major with a concentration in Finance and Marketing. I am thrilled to be a part of The Boys’ Room as I have lived experiences and can relate to many underrepresented students. As a black male who has attended PWIs across the country, including North Carolina, Ohio, Connecticut, and now New York, I know how it feels to be marginalized and know what our students are going through. It is a great honor to be a part of such a meaningful organization and am excited to give back. What I like to do in my spare time? I'm glad you asked. You can find me playing basketball with my friends, exploring NYC, or singing my favorite R&B and Soul hits in my free time! One fun fact about me is that I am 6 foot 7!
Kenneth Culbreth
Program Instructor
Greetings and salutations, my name is Kenneth Culbreth. I am from Charlotte, North Carolina. I attend the Johnson C. Smith University where I study Business Administration with a concentration in management and a minor in Esports management. I am also a member of the Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. where I serve as the Polemarch of the chapter. I decided to become a mentor for The Boys Room because I wanted give back to young African-American boys and show them that we are the future. I wanted them to know that they can do anything they put their mind to and show them that no one can stop them. I also have experience in mentoring for a summer program for my fraternity called Kappa Kamp. We as mentors showed the young men the ins and outs of the business world while also creating a fun and engaging environment. In my spare time I like to roller skate, listen to music, and hangout with my friends.
Stanley St. Vilus II
Program Instructor
Hello! My name is Stanley St. Vilus II, and I'm from Charlotte, NC. I'm a Business Finance scholar with a minor in Cybersecurity. I decided to become a mentor for The Boy's Room because I understand the challenges and pressures of being the only African-American male in a predominantly white environment. My goal is to help younger men navigate these experiences and provide guidance to manage the stress that can come with it. In my free time, I enjoy working out, playing video games, and watching football.

Taiyo Myrthil, one of our program instructors, was born and raised in Brooklyn and is excited to work with students in his hometown of New York City. From Prep for Prep to Saint Ann’s to Stanford University, he has navigated predominantly white institutions—and programs that provide students of color access to them—for over a decade. With a degree in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (and a minor in Music), a passion for education, and fond memories of the mentors that supported him throughout his academic career, Taiyo is looking forward to sharing his experiences and help foster spaces that encourage younger Black students on similar journeys to learn, grow, and find belonging through building connections with each other.
Dominique M. Fowler
Program Instructor
Given Dr. Dom's experiences growing up and while attending an HBCU and two PWIs, he became a Program Instructor because he wants to support young Black and Brown boys along their journey, something he wishes he had at their age. So much so that he studied the impact of cross-racial friendships on Black male graduates’ social engagement during their undergraduate years at a predominantly White institution. He is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.. He believes in authenticity and approaches his work and life with energy and creativity. In his spare time, he enjoys cooking, music, DIY projects, and spending time with his dog, Stony.

Smith University, in Charlotte, NC. I am deeply passionate about financial literacy, economic empowerment, and helping others build generational wealth. As a mentor for The Boy's Room, I strive to guide and support young individuals on their journey to success. Having attended predominantly white institutions (PWIs) throughout my K-12 education and later worked at a golf course, I have personally experienced the challenges faced by many young people. This motivates me to give back, share my experiences, and be a resource for those navigating similar obstacles. In my free time, I enjoy golfing, playing pickleball, and networking.
