Originally coming into DSU as a Nursing major I knew I had a passion for helping people. Two years ago, I chose PUBLIC HEALTH because I wanted to make a difference. I graduated knowing that healing communities starts with compassion, advocacy, and showing up for people when they need it most. This degree is more than a title, it’s a promise to serve, protect, and uplift. 🩺🌍🎓”

To my mom, Thank you for creating such a strong, resilient young woman. I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for you. I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me throughout my college years and prior. From the endless support and encouragement, you were always there, guiding me and believing in me even when I doubted myself. Thank you for the sacrifices you made, for cheering me on, and for teaching me the values, strength, and confidence that helped me get here. I’m so grateful for the incredible woman you are and for the amazing foundation you built in me. This accomplishment is for the both of us. WE DID IT MOMMA LOVE YOU!❤️

To my village, I thank each and every one of you for helping along this journey. As you all know, this was not an easy one but each and every one of you guys helped make this journey as easy as possible. Thank you for always being my foundation and my biggest cheerleaders. Your love, support, and encouragement have carried me through every challenge and celebrated every success. I am so grateful for everything you’ve done for me, for believing in me, and for shaping me into the person I am today. I love you all more than words can express. ❤️

“Do what you got to do so you can do what you want to do.” 🎓

Man… this journey wasn’t easy. There were long nights staying up to finish assignments and projects, then waking up the next day for practice like nothing happened. Some days tested me, but through it all, I stayed motivated, stayed consistent, and never lost sight of the bigger goal.

First and foremost, I give all praise to the Most High for blessing me with this moment. Coming from the Bronx, New York, I know how easy it is for people to lose sight of their dreams or get distracted by life. But I kept pushing, stayed focused, and trusted the process and now, here we are.

I want to take a moment to thank my parents, grandma, cousins, coaches, and everyone who played a role in guiding me, supporting me, and believing in me throughout this journey. I truly wouldn’t be here without y’all.

And to my fallen angels I love y’all forever, and I hope I made y’all proud. This one is for you too ❤️

what did it do?

dear dsu,

thank you.

never would i have thought going to college would give me the experiences, opportunities, relationships, and growth that it did. honestly, i had no intention of going to college at first, but my aunt gave me two options.. leave the crib or go to college.

on August 24, 2021, i stepped foot on this university as a student for the very first time, and i’m blessed to say my undergraduate journey officially ends today, May 15, 2026.

college isn’t easy, but you don’t have to make it harder than it already is. set yourself up for success. build relationships. stay consistent. put yourself out there. and most importantly, do EVERYTHING you can and WANT to do.

i have family members and friends who never had — and may never have — the opportunity to attend college, so i made it my mission for them to live through me. every picture i’ve taken, every financial literacy or mental health event i’ve hosted, every community service initiative i’ve led.. please know it was bigger than me.

it’s for my fallen soldiers.
it’s for my family, friends, and community.
it’s for the people praying for me.
and above all, it’s what God planned and anointed for my life.

this university is exactly what they say it is:
HISTORICALLY BLACK.

it changed my life, opened doors i never imagined, created lifelong relationships, and gave my family our first TWO degree$.

for that, i’ll forever be grateful.

if i can do it, you can too.
all glory to God.

with love,
Mr. 1%ER$ CLUB Him$elf 🎓

you are who you hang around..

i want to shoutout and thank the members of the GodBrothers, Healing Hornets, BMI, & the DSU WellRec. the spaces you’ve provided for me to grow into the multi-faceted individual i can confidently say i am in a fashion i never expected to experience, were a blessing to be present in, and i can’t thank every member, advisor, co-worker, & pro-staff enough.

i pray you all know that the guidance, reassurance, and patience you pour into me, i pour into others. thank you for giving me genuine relationships, memories, and the credibility to express my passions, ideas, and hardships. i’ll cherish all the morals and principles i’ve gained, and strengthened with you all. 🤞🏾

if you want to go fast, go alone. if you want to go far, go together..

growing up with two brothers, i always wanted to have a sister. through every step of the pageant, you and my pageant bros showed me endless support, love, and humility. we all went from RAG$ to RICHE$.. rich in service. rich in progress. the opportunity to be a part of this pageant was a blessing in disguise, that cultivated some of my most genuine friendships and bonds.

i treat you all like family, because during my childhood growing up in northside wilmington, delaware, i’ve witnessed the woman in my life go through traumatic and life-changing situations. growing up where & how i did, you’d want to be the change you need to see too.

i always wanted to normalize service, chivalry, and integrity.. AND I HAVE.

Zeta Delta, i want you all to know, that the man i am now, was molded by our countless memories, intellectual conversations, and shared intention to serve this illustrious campus and community. thank y’all for trusting me, confiding in me, laughing, crying, praying with me, and so much more.

above all else, thank y’all for helping me become a GREATER man.

Mr. Rhoyal Blue & Gold $igning Out.. 💛

It takes a strong woman to bleed Columbia Blue and Cherry Red. These past four years have built me into the woman I am now. But, as I sit back and think it was ALL worth it. Those obstacles were needed. Those talks were needed.

Faith carried what fear couldn’t touch. This is not just a degree, this is a TESTIMONY. To know me is to know my story. A young black girl from Brooklyn,NY who’s making something of herself. Not allowing where she grew up to affect her future. Being from the projects, one of few to receive a Bachelors degree means a lot to me. I stand proud of my achievements while at DSU. Juggling school, cheer and other extra curricular activities I still managed to do it in FOUR! I PERSEVERED! 🌟

Thank you forever for gifting me the space and opportunity to grow and learn more about myself. Thank you for my forever friends and mentors I have created. Through it all, I can’t do nothing but thank my home: The Hive 🐝.

Behind this smile holds sleepless nights, self-doubt, tears, growth, and perseverance. This isn’t just a degree, it’s a reminder that where God has a will, there will always be a way. I am beyond grateful for every valley and every mountain that has led me to the moment.

Hotter by one degree, but I’m only heating up… 🔥

the graduate:
grounded, growing, determined, purposeful.

Graduating college means more to me than just earning a degree. This journey challenged me, strengthened me, and showed me that purpose takes perseverance.

There were long nights, moments of self doubt, burnout, and times I questioned if I could make it this far — but I kept showing up for myself and for the future I’ve always dreamed of.

To my parents, thank you for believing in me even when I struggled to believe in myself. Your love, sacrifices, and support made this moment possible.

I’m leaving this chapter more confident, resilient, and grateful for every lesson that shaped me into the woman I’m becoming.
