Brandon Fleming

Brandon P. Fleming is an American educator, speaker, and author of Miseducated: A Memoir. In that book, he traces his path from an abusive childhood, school struggles, and life in the streets to a very different future shaped by reading, discipline, and debate.

Public biographies and book materials describe him as a former Harvard debate coach and the founder of education programs focused on helping students from underserved backgrounds find their voice. Across his work, he is often presented as someone committed to expanding access to strong teaching, literacy, and opportunity.

His appeal as a writer comes from that mix of candor and hope: he tells a hard story, but he tells it as proof that education can redirect a life.
