Where are you from? Who introduced you to HBCUs?*
I am from Columbia, Maryland. My parents introduced me to HBCU’s. My dad is a graduate of Mississippi Valley State University and his parents taught there as well.
Grambling State Cheerleader Taylor Stewart!
Why did you choose an HBCU over a pwi?*
I chose an HBCU over a PWI because I wanted to be in a environment that would allow me to do more than just go to school. I wanted to be around people that would support me not only in college but also post college.
What is the story of your "experience" at Your HBCU given its heralded status as a stellar and prestigious institution?*
My story is that no matter what you have to deal with you can overcome anything. Life is what you make it and you must go after it and grab it!

"First time" experiences at your HBCU?*
My “first time” experience was doing the Miss CoverGirl pageant this year. I had never done a pageant before and was so nervous leading up to the pageant, but in the end it worked out in my favor!
Who are the professors that have impacted your life in and out of the classroom? How did they do that?*
A professor that has impacted my life both in and out of the classroom is Will Sutton. Ever since I took him for Principles of Public Relations he has been a tremendous part of me building my portfolio and being successful both in and out of the classroom.
