BONUS ITEM ALERT NO. 1 : Howard Bison Wallet & ID Holder πŸͺͺ Every Capstone Crate comes with officially licensed Howard swag β€” and this season, we're keeping your essentials as organized as your Homecoming itinerary. This Bison wallet/ID holder keeps your ID, cards, and hotel key right where you need them while you're moving from the Yard to the tailgate to the party to the diner at 2am. Because nothing kills a Homecoming vibe faster than digging through your bag at the gate β€” or worse, at the door. Tap in, flash the Bison, keep it moving. πŸ’™β€οΈ Officially licensed. Effortlessly functional. Extremely on brand for the most organized alumni in the game. BONUS ITEM ALERT NO. 2: Howard Gameday Pint Glass 🍺 Round two of your officially licensed Bison swag: the classic 16 oz Gameday Pint Glass, rocking our team's mascot with pride. Pressed glass for durability. Chip-resistant rim for longevity. 16 ounces for the perfect pour β€” whether that's your Medase mocktail (see what we did there 😏), your morning-after coffee, or whatever's fueling your watch party when you can't make it back to Greene Stadium in person. Hand wash only, please β€” treat it like the collector's item it is. Your drinkware collection said "add some school spirit," and we listened. πŸ’™β€οΈ H-U! raises glass You knowwww! πŸ₯‚ #HowardBison #HowardHomecoming #BisonLove #HUSwag #ByHUAlumniForHUAlumni by @capstonecrate

THE REVEAL: HBCU Leggings Tee πŸ‘• Your Homecoming suitcase officially has its first confirmed item. Amina Hammond (Fine Arts – Digital Design, #HU06) designed this HBCU Leggings vintage Bison tee for exactly one purpose: making sure everybody knows you're THAT alum. Travel-day fit, tailgate layer, "casual but make it Mecca" β€” pair it with jeans, pair it with (of course) leggings, pair it with your loudest school spirit. And the match makes itself: pride you can wear is pride you can share. The Capstone Crate is all about carrying The Mecca with you everywhere β€” and Amina literally built a brand around that exact idea. Her Howard art training (you know the program doesn't play) means this isn't just merch; it's designed-with-intention apparel from someone who understands that repping your school is a form of storytelling. A Bison designer making gear for Bison pride, delivered in a box curated by Bison, for Bison? The math is math-ing. πŸ’™β€οΈ Wear it on the flight and count how many "H-U!" call-and-responses you collect before you even land at DCA. That's not a shirt. That's a signal. @hbculeggings #CapstoneCrate #HowardHomecoming #HBCULeggings #HomecomingFit by @capstonecrate

THE REVEAL: Sweet Heritage Magazine πŸ“– Inside this season's crate: the latest issue of SWEET HERITAGE β€” Carla Hall's twice-yearly digital magazine serving up food, culture, and personal stories with her signature Emmy-winning warmth. This isn't just recipes; it's storytelling with seasoning, plus tech-forward surprises like augmented reality that literally bring the pages to life. 🀯 And honestly? This match was destiny. Capstone Crate exists to spotlight Howard Alumni doing extraordinary things β€” and Carla (@howardbschool accounting, #HU86πŸŽ“) might be the blueprint. She walked into Howard as an accounting major and walked out into a career spanning runways, Food Network, and an Emmy on The Chew. That range? That's The Mecca in action. Sweet Heritage celebrates culture and honors the stories behind the excellence β€” exactly what we do with every box. Perfect pre-Homecoming reading for the flight, the train, or the "laying here mentally preparing for the Yard" moment we all have. Come back to The Mecca fed in more ways than one.

THE REVEAL: Majenye Date Night Roll-On Oil 🌸 Remember when we said "perfume for smelling good on the go"? Meet your new pulse-point bestie. Yetunde Alabi (Political Science/Sociology, #HU11 πŸŽ“) is blessing this crate with Date Night β€” jasmine, vanilla, and peony in a sleek, travel-ready, spill-proof bottle. No alcohol to dry your skin. No overspray. Just a clean, safflower-oil-based fragrance that melts into YOUR chemistry and lasts 8–12 hours. ⏳ This is exactly the kind of brand we started Capstone Crate to shine a light on: posh, fine, and intentional β€” luxury and conscience refusing to be opposites. PETA certified, paraben-free, phthalate-free, and pretty enough to leave out on the vanity. Yetunde's Poli Sci/Sociology roots show up in the details, too β€” Majenye is about how you move through the world and how you make people feel when you walk in. Howard taught us presence. @majenyeco bottles it. Peony on the Yard, jasmine at the tailgate, warm vanilla at the after-party. Hug all 47 people. Smell amazing for every single one. Roll on. Breathe in. Let Homecoming begin. #CapstoneCrate #HowardHomecoming #Majenye #DateNight #HUHC by @capstonecrate

THE REVEAL: Medase Mocktails (Golden Hour Jamaican Rum Punch) 🍹 Popping the top on this one (get it?): Monica Cornitcher (@howardbschool, Business Marketing, #HU91) is putting the Caribbean in your Capstone Crate β€” a sultry, zero-proof sip with smooth rum flavor, zesty citrus, sweet tropical juices, and a splash of premium organic agave. Fully alcohol-free. Fully organic. Fully delicious. Two servings per can β€” one for you, one for your linesister/roommate/day-one riding to Homecoming with you. 🌴πŸ₯‚ Why it's a perfect crate match? Because "Medase" means THANK YOU β€” and gratitude, community, and connection are the whole reason Capstone Crate exists. Monica built a brand around bringing people together with no one left out of the toast. Inclusive, intentional, excellent. Sound familiar? It's the same energy Howard poured into all of us. Homecoming is one long thank-you to The Mecca. Medase just made it sippable β€” at the pre-game, between the step show and the party, or wherever the weekend takes you. @medasecocktails #HowardHomecoming #BisonLove #HowardAlumni #Medase #ByHUAlumniForHUAlumni by @capstonecrate

Meet the Maker: CARLA HALL πŸŽ“ Before the Emmy, before "The Chew," before she became everybody's favorite face on Food Network and Discovery TV β€” Carla Hall was a @howardbschool student crunching numbers as an accounting major, #HU86. From balance sheets to bringing joy to millions of kitchens, Carla's journey is peak Bison excellence: start at The Mecca, then go be great everywhere else. These days she's the publisher of Sweet Heritage, a magazine that celebrates food, culture, and the stories behind them β€” with heart, flavor, and a few tech-forward surprises up its sleeve. ✨ What she's contributing to this Homecoming crate? That's a surprise. But trust β€” it's giving cookout-conversation-starter energy. πŸ‘€ #CapstoneCrate #HowardHomecoming #HowardAlumni #CarlaHall by @capstonecrate

Meet the Maker: AMINA HAMMOND @hufinearts digital design, #HU06 πŸŽ“ Amina took her Howard-trained design eye and built HBCU Leggings β€” a brand that lets you rep your school from head to toe with style that actually goes hardArts, Digital Design, c/o 2006. πŸƒ Amina took her Howard-trained design eye and built HBCU Leggings β€” a brand that lets you rep your school from head to toe with style that actually goes hard@hufinearts. Because let's be real: #HBCU pride isn't a costume you put on for one weekend in October. It's a whole lifestyle. Amina designs for the alum who wants everybody at the airport, the grocery store, AND the gym to know exactly where they went to school. πŸ’…πŸΎ What's she dropping in the Homecoming crate? Zipped lips over here. But your Homecoming fit just might thank us later. πŸ‘€ #CapstoneCrate #HowardHomecoming #BisonLove #HBCULeggings by @capstonecrate

Meet the Maker: MONICA CORNITCHER πŸŽ“ School of Business. Business Marketing. C/O 1991. πŸƒ Monica took that HU marketing know-how and poured it into Medase β€” zero-proof, organic cocktails that taste like the real thing. (Yes, really. No, we're not exaggerating.) "Medase" means thank you β€” a heartfelt nod to connection, kindness, and community. And honestly? That's the most Howard thing we've ever heard. Because if there's one thing The Mecca taught us, it's that the people around the table matter just as much as what's on it. πŸ₯‚ What Monica's putting in this Homecoming crate stays under wraps for now... but let's just say your tailgate cooler is about to get an upgrade. 😏 #CapstoneCrate #HowardHomecoming #Medase #HowardAlumni by @capstonecrate

Meet the Maker: YETUNDE ALABI Political Science and Sociology, #HU11. πŸŽ“ Yetunde studied people, power, and community at The Mecca β€” then turned all that intention into @majenyeco, a vegan, crystal-infused skincare line that treats self-care like the ritual it deserves to be. ✨ Clean ingredients. Conscious formulas. Luxury that doesn't ask you to compromise. Majenye is what happens when Howard-honed purpose meets glow-up energy. Her contribution to the Homecoming crate is still a secret 🀫 β€” but if you've ever hugged 47 people between the Yard and the tailgate, you already know why you need it. #CapstoneCrate #HowardHomecoming #BisonLove #HowardAlumni by @capstonecrate
