Literacy Support That Honors Every Student’s Voice
At Building Up Bold, literacy is about more than reading and writing skills, it’s about confidence, identity, and helping students feel powerful in their own voices. Our literacy coaching is designed to support students who may struggle in traditional classrooms but thrive with hands-on, relationship-centered learning.
Meet Trey
Trey works with Building Up Bold students to help them strengthen their writing, find their voice, and feel confident expressing who they are. As a doctoral student in English Education and an award-winning author of Southern Migrant Mixtape, Trey brings both expertise and deep care to the literacy work he does with young people.
At Building Up Bold, Trey supports students who may struggle in traditional classrooms by helping them use reading and writing as tools for self-expression, confidence-building, and emotional processing. He works closely with students to develop their ideas, organize their thoughts, and tell their stories in ways that feel authentic and empowering. This includes supporting students as they write about personal experiences, frustrations, and challenges turning those moments into growth rather than shutdown.
Trey's approach centers students’ full self. He creates supportive, inclusive spaces where students feel safe taking academic risks, asking questions, and sharing their truth. Through writing coaching and literacy support, he helps students build skills while also feeling seen, valued, and capable.
At Building Up Bold, Trey's work helps students grow not just as writers, but as confident thinkers and communicators.
