And just like that…I'm back in these HBCU streets!

I had the pleasure of kicking off recruitment season with stops at Fort Valley State University and Tuskegee University, followed by the UNCF Empower Me Tour for the Atlanta University Center Consortium—all while squeezing in a two-day press run!

Different campuses. But only ONE MISSION: connecting talented students to opportunities that can change the trajectory of their careers.

There is truly nothing like being on campus, meeting students where they are, hearing about their goals, and reminding them that the opportunities they’re looking for may be closer than they think.

The suitcase is packed. The recruitment materials are ready. And we’re JUST getting started!

So…where will I be next? 👀

Talk about a FULL CIRCLE moment

So much of who I am, what I do, and my deep love for HBCUs and our culture began long before I ever stepped foot on an HBCU campus.

It started at Hillman College!

A Different World gave so many of us our first glimpse into the beauty, brilliance, traditions, friendships, love, excellence, and magic of the HBCU experience. And for me, that glimpse became an affinity…that affinity became a PASSION…and somehow, that passion became my LIFE'S WORK!

Now, more than 30 years later, I have the privilege of working in the world of HBCUs—pouring into students, creating opportunities, and celebrating the institutions and culture that first captured my imagination through a television screen.

And TODAY, a new generation gets experience the magic all over again!

What makes this moment even sweeter is that I get to experience it with my children. I get to share a piece of my childhood with them while watching a new generation create their own memories.

Congratulations to everyone bringing this new era to life. And a special THANK YOU to the incomparable @therealdebbieallen for being a beacon, a visionary, and part of the spark that began this journey for me more than three decades ago.

Who knew that little girl watching Hillman College was getting a glimpse of the world she would one day be blessed to work in?

Hillman may have been fictional, but the impact was VERY real.

Here’s to A Different World—then, now, and for the next generation.

Still trying to process all that happened at the 2026 UNCF Student Leadership Conference.

Over the course of a few incredible days, I had the opportunity to witness students finding their voice, building meaningful connections, and stepping boldly into their leadership journeys. The energy, the impact, the conversations, and the memories were truly unforgettable.

And to make it even sweeter, I had the honor of representing my alma mater, while wearing a beautiful creation designed by my linesister @kamirriaw . There is something special about carrying the legacy of where you came from while celebrating the sisterhood that continues to pour into you.
