Where are you from? Who introduced you to HBCUs?*
I am from Waverly, Virginia, and I was introduced to HBCUs through 2 of my older sisters who attended Hampton University and Virginia State University.
Why did you choose an HBCU over a pwi?*
I chose an HBCU over a PWI because I wanted to be within an environment rich in history and rich in my culture.
What is the story of your "experience" at Your HBCU given its heralded status as a stellar and prestigious institution?*
My experiences at my HBCU have been nothing short of amazing. I've made life-long friends, had endless opportunities to participate in programs to prepare for my future career as an attorney, and I've grown as an individual since attending my HBCU.
"First time" experiences at your HBCU?*
My favorite "first time" experience at my HBCU was modeling in a fashion show for a class project. Despite the nervousness combined with the lack of experience, it was one of the best feelings in the world!
Who are the professors that have impacted your life in and out of the classroom? How did they do that?*
Dr. Zoe "Z" Spencer has impacted my life in/out of the classroom. She isn't your typical professor who lectures about academics alone. She has taught me life lessons to prepare me for society outside the walls of VSU.
