Endorsed by Dr. Benjamin J. Theisen and Colleagues


March 30, 2024 — We, a close-knit group of academics and practitioners, are thrilled to share the good news of Dr. Jeremiah Curry, a figure whose life and work are a testament to the transformative power of empathy, education, and unwavering commitment to societal betterment. This page reflects our collective endorsement of our colleague, who is as remarkable as his impact on individuals and communities alike.


About Dr. Jeremiah Curry

Nestled within the vibrant yet challenging tapestry of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, Dr. Curry has emerged not only as an academic but as a cornerstone of hope for many. His journey from the streets of his economically-impacted neighborhood to the academic halls where he earned his PhD in Organizational Leadership is a narrative of overcoming odds that seemed insurmountable.

Dr. Curry’s practical contributions, particularly with Union Station Homeless Services and the Skid Row Housing Trust, has not only changed lives but has redefined what it means to serve. Through his lens, we see the power of leadership that is rooted in the reality of the people it aims to uplift—a leadership style born of lived experience and scholarly rigor.


Flashpoint: Hearing Dr. Jeremiah W. Curry Story

My first encounter with Jeremiah’s oratorical prowess came unexpectedly during a doctoral class I was teaching in 2019. I asked students to introduce themselves and share their research. Jeremiah was my student at the time. He stood tall with a voice both serene and compelling, beginning to weave his story—a tapestry so rich and engaging that the room was left in awe. His ability to marry personal narrative with academic inquiry left some of us in tears, while others, already familiar with his gift, nodded in a blend of reverence and delight.

It was then I realized Dr. Curry was a storyteller, a teacher, and a visionary, capable of moving hearts and minds in equal measure.
