For the past nine years, I've dedicated my life to higher education. So much so that in the summer of 2018, I made an abrupt but necessary decision to finally enroll in the Ph.D. program in Higher Education Administration at Morgan State University after feeling incredibly defeated in a meeting and feeling as if my voice didn't matter because I didn't have those three unique letters (Ph.D.) behind my name. While I don't regret my decision (I always knew I'd pursue my doctorate), as I genuinely believe earning my doctorate is necessary for my purpose, in July, I made the decision that I would no longer apply for jobs in higher education and focus more on making a difference outside of the "ivory tower."

While I have chosen not to elaborate on some of the significant events that contributed to my decision (but in due season when I REAP, I will), I will say this: when God tells you to move, and you don't, he will move you. And while at first the move may be scary, unfair, and appear as a "failure," God will bring BLESSINGS from the ashes of what you and/or others perceive as "failures" to align you with your purpose. Just wait for my testimony!

To this end, my purpose is what I have learned and earned from answering the call nine years ago.

That being said, I now present to you 'From Higher Ed to A Higher Purpose.'

In the next couple of weeks, I will invite you to join me on a journey to accomplish many different HBCU-dedicated projects and initiatives (many of which I have been sitting on for years)—sitting on for years as a result of control, fear, a lack of resources, and self-doubt; all of which no longer exist anymore.

More to come!
