About Kevin Andre Brooks
A Veteran Strategist. A Proven Leader.
Kevin Andre Brooks is not defined by a single title — because exceptional leadership rarely is. A veteran strategist, educator, communicator, and pastor, KAB has spent more than two decades at the intersection of education reform, community development, political strategy, and media. As Founder and Principal of Steward Leadership Group, his Memphis-based consulting firm, he delivers bold, effective solutions to government agencies, private sector organizations, and nonprofits that are serious about change.
A Legacy in Education
KAB's record in education is extraordinary. A former high school principal and certified superintendent, he led turnaround school efforts in Baltimore that revitalized some of the city's most challenged campuses. He founded a charter school, established an alternative education school, and organized a comprehensive community school initiative — one that put parents at the center of the process. His research and programming on urban education and community development have shaped policy conversations at the local and national level.
A Voice in Media. A Pastor. A Community Anchor.
KAB is a trusted commentator and analyst for local and national media outlets, offering a unique and informed perspective on urban policy, education reform, political strategy, and community affairs. As Pastor of City-Temple Fellowship, KAB is recognized for his ministerial emphasis on social justice, grassroots organizing, education reform, and leadership development. His pastoral work is inseparable from his professional mission — both rooted in the belief that strong communities require strong, accountable leadership. A recipient of numerous community awards and accolades, KAB continues to be a trailblazer and influencer who embodies a new generation of civil rights leadership.
