ABOUT DR. TIYE
Dr. Tiye’s leadership journey began at the age of 11 when he was asked to coach his peers opposed to playing on the team. The team went 0 - 8, however, won the playoff and championship games becoming the season's champs. This triumph established the foundation for Dr. Tiye’s life perspective and belief in his people.
At the age of 18, Dr. Tiye began to strategize on how to disrupt the social services industry and began to develop what became the Kush Approach to Public Safety. The model was completed with the support of the Kush executive leadership team (2004) and implemented in the Watts/Southeast Los Angeles district (2005).
The Kush Approach to Public Safety, along with the hard work of the Kush team, helped to reduce youth motivated violence by 63% over Kush, Inc.'s 7 year service period.
Dr. Tiye is a Watts/Compton, California native. He currently lives in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Cincinnati. Dr. Tiye holds a B.S. in Management and Human Resources; MBA; and a Doctor of Education degree in Organizational Leadership and Technology.
