I’m officially a featured student in @thecollegetourtv !!!!! My first feature in an Amazon Prime television series and getting to represent @universityofdc on behalf of @udclaw and share a piece of my journey is something I’m incredibly proud of. And thank you for your kind words @desijwilliams !!!

From being a Black law student at an HBCU, to serving as Mister UDC Law, to preparing for a career in criminal defense, this experience allowed me to share a little bit of the journey behind the person you see today.

The episode is now available to watch on several platforms and at the link in my bio!

What a moment. What a blessing. What a way to represent UDC Law. 🎓⚖️

Most people apply to be on Survivor. Desi Williams got recruited, then went and won The Challenge, all while holding a doctorate in physical therapy.

Dr. Desi Williams pulls up to Black Geek Energy, and small world, she coached Jardo's little sister back in the day. She breaks down how her first pageant ever, Miss Hampton, opened the door to Miss USA, Survivor, and a Challenge championship. She gets real about the six knee surgeries that nearly took her out, how reality TV producers actually manufacture drama, and the pressure of representing Black women on screen without getting boxed in. Plus Croatia, her HBCU hosting gig, and a geek trivia round that surprises everybody.
