About Me
Meet the Builder
I'm Roof Sweatte, an educator, speaker, and cultural architect focused on helping young people and the adults who guide them—build identity, discipline, and purpose. I'm TEFL-certified, hold a Marketing Certification, and am completing my Business English certification.
I currently teach ESL while developing workshops and keynotes for schools, organizations, and communities. I grew up in two families, one that chose me, one I was born into. Black and white. Adopted and biological. Complex and whole. That experience taught me what resilience, openness, and balance actually mean. Now, as a father to a mixed-race daughter, I'm fighting for her right to know all of herself and I help other families do the same.
