Abstract	The purpose of this phenomenological narrative was to understand the experiences of successful African American males who were identified as special education students while in the K-12 setting. For this study, successful African American males are defined as those who completed and graduated from a post-secondary institution. All six individuals who participated in the research study were former special education students who received a post-secondary degree. The participants self-identified their own experiences as a special education student. The research questions allowed for further investigation into how special education disabilities' stereotypes were overcome. Findings indicated that self-motivation is the most dominant components of participants who received a post-secondary degree. Findings also emphasized the importance of the positive impact of mentors and mother figures. This study provides current and former African American males of special education with knowledge about how to overcome the stigma associated with special education disabilities.
