Jonathan Max Guy
Program InstructorMy 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!
Nia Scott
Program Instructor & Book Club FacilitatorOur book club Co-facilitator, Nia, is a student of Psychology at Fordham University. Her passion lies in exploring the workings of the creation of positive self identity especially in black youth. She uses her fervor to fuel her as she works with the youth department of the New York Public Library and nurtures the young minds of our Boys’ Room program. Though her yearning for answers has lead her to academic spaces beyond her home in Jamaica such as, Costa Rica and now New York, her life's purpose still lies in the social and cultural development of her home island.
Taiyo Myrthil
Program InstructorTaiyo 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 InstructorGiven 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.
