Why an HBCU?
HBCUs provide a diverse and inclusive community of scholarship that celebrates the richness of the entire American experience and a safe and nurturing environment for everyone.
How did it shape you?
My HBCU allowed me to grow, develop, flourish, and lead in an inclusive and supportive environment.
Most significant memory?
Establishing lifelong relationships with people who embody the school motto—"Enter to Learn, Depart to Serve"—winning a team golf title, being Miss Senior, and meeting my extraordinary husband are my best memories.
