Bridging Transitions: A Strength-Based Video Series for Thrice-Exceptional Black Male Students
Thrice-exceptional students hold three things at once: intellectual giftedness, a learning difference, and cultural complexity (Davis & Robinson, 2018).

Watch the series
Five short videos, two to five minutes each, on how thrice-exceptional Black male students are identified, what happens to their support at the transition into college, and what institutions can do about it.
Five videos, about nineteen minutes
Why the videos exist
For Black male students that combination is hard for institutions to see. Read as gifted, the learning difference disappears. Read as disabled, the giftedness disappears. Read through a cultural deficit lens, both disappear at once (Reis et al., 2014; Robinson, 2017).
Arts-based research: the making is the inquiry (Leavy, 2020; Guryil et al., 2026). Each video pairs peer-reviewed evidence with the researcher’s own account as a thrice-exceptional Black male student, in a format built for social platforms and staff training rather than journals.
What institutions can do Monday
Each action is addressed to one office, and each is backed by one video in the series.
