Kendell Childers Cephas
Why an HBCU?
Continuing my family tradition of attending an HBCU was a no-brainer. I, too, wanted the unique opportunity to be surrounded by people who look like me with similar backgrounds, cultural experiences, and desires for the future.
How did it shape you?
So much of who I am—my confidence, my pride in being a Black woman, and knowing that I can overcome any obstacle put in front of me—is shaped by my HBCU experience.
Most significant memory?
There are too many wonderful memories to count, but the many homecomings and reunions I have attended are very memorable. I look forward every year to creating more memories with my fellow alumnae.
