Why an HBCU?
My dad went to North Carolina A&T. He and my mom instilled in me an immense pride in Black culture, and for me, the opportunity to go to an HBCU was the icing on the cake!

How did it shape you?
The experiences, education, and lifelong sisterhood I received at Spelman shaped me into who I am today.

Most significant memory?
Taking the mandatory course, African Diaspora and the World (ADW), my freshman year was an amazing, life-changing experience! ADW focused on sharpening the awareness of diverse cultural and historical experiences.
