Why an HBCU?
I wanted to focus my college years on scholarship, sisterhood, and service—the cornerstones of Spelman College and HBCU education.

How did it shape you?
My HBCU experience provided me with a network of mentors who have become my family. My commitment to excellence in leadership and service to the world was solidified at Spelman and continues to be fueled by my desire to ensure that other women receive the same support that I did.

Most significant memory?
The Spelman College Founders' Day will forever be my most significant memory. It is a celebration of our alumnae past, an honoring of our collective present, and a commitment to our bright future.
