What a weekend - started at Virginia State University Homecoming. Met up with Frat and classmates. Great catching up with them and hearing the great work they are doing. Then spent the evening with The Charlotte Black Political Caucus - humbled to receive Legends and Legacy Award for Media along with other honorees in the field of education, law, and community. Also grateful for Porch Productions for the work they are doing with young people. Keep shining. Have a great week. #BlessedMan #BPC #PorchProductions #VSUHomecoming26 #TheAlphas by @daruss202

It’s Fire Prevention Week and this annual mock dorm room burn at UNCC showed students how things can go up in flames in minutes and how a sprinkler system can make a difference. This year local high school students participated in this event. #Firepreventionweek #UNCC #CFD #WBTV taken in UNCC Campus by @daruss202
