Where are you from? Who introduced you to HBCUs?*
Montgomery, Alabama.
My father.
Why did you choose an HBCU over a pwi?*
I feel that as African Americans we should embrace and support our own colleges.
What is the story of your "experience" at Your HBCU given its heralded status as a stellar and prestigious institution?*
I came to my HBCU at age 18. During this time I have accomplished more than what I came here to do. With the blessings of the institution I became known as the youngest Miss Morris Brown College. I have been exposed to the media, radio, and have met some pretty successful people. My HBCU experience is definitely something I will not forget.
"First time" experiences at your HBCU?*
For the first time I have been introduced to the media as a queen, experienced a HBCU Homecoming, and have been exposed to other HBCU's and their traditions as well.
Who are the professors that have impacted your life in and out of the classroom? How did they do that?*
Dr. Mitchell, my psychology professor, has definitely made an impact on my life.
She pushes and motivates one so that they are able to do what they believe in. The faith she has in me is what keeps me pushing!

JROTC- Wanted to pursue the military.
National Honor Society- Grades were up to par. Helped with Scholarships
