Vincent is the son of Yolanda Ramirez-Lemarr and Rudy Perez. He is the husband of Kim Jansen and father to Tristan, Chase, and Devon. He is brother to Marla, Rudy and Rebecca. Vincent’s vocation is dedicated to the art and skill of facilitation. Meaningful learning experiences that honor the dignity of participants is his first priority. Vincent currently leads Rethink Manhood, working with men and boys to deconstruct and counter cultural narratives regarding what it means to be a "real" man. In addition, Vincent currently leads the Equity Institute, a national collective of equity consultants and recently created an Equity Audit Instrument for educational institutions.
A note from Vincent: I am blessed to serve as a lead visionary for the Equity Institute, Rethink Manhood, and La Cima y ¡La Chispa! Bilingual Leadership. My vocational calling is to honor the dignity and identities of learners to grow access, agency, empowerment, inclusion, healing, joy, justice, liberation, solidarity, and sovereignty. I’ve dedicated my career to serving historically marginalized peoples through carceral studies, culturally responsive pedagogy, ethnic studies, experiential education, family engagement, healing-centered masculinity, implementation science, Indigenous epistemology, juvenile justice reform, Latinx bilingual leadership, MTSS, near-peer mentorship, policy analysis, program evaluation, student empowerment, and trauma-informed systems. I am always honored to share knowledge, skills, and attributes that humanize practitioners and clients.
