🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

The mission continues… and this one is special. ✊🏾🎙️

From telling HBCU stories on HBCU 101 to traveling the country amplifying our culture, one thing has always remained the same — our stories matter, our institutions matter, and our legacy must continue.

I’m honored to be heading to Martha’s Vineyard for “An HBCU Experience on the Vineyard” for a powerful conversation around the Ignite HBCU Excellence Act and the future of our beloved institutions.

I’ll have the privilege of sharing the stage with two incredible HBCU leaders and advocates — Congresswoman Alma Adams, proud North Carolina A&T State University alumna, and Dr. Makola M. Abdullah, President of Virginia State University and proud Howard University alumnus.

Different institutions. One mission. Advancing, protecting, and celebrating the HBCU legacy. ✊🏾

This is bigger than one event. This is about continuing to educate, empower, and elevate the next generation of HBCU leaders while making sure our stories are heard and our institutions continue to thrive.

If you’re on the Vineyard, I would love to see you there! Come experience an evening filled with culture, conversation, networking, and HBCU excellence.

🎟️ Tickets are available NOW — click the link in my bio!

And if you can’t attend but still believe in the mission, you can make an impact from wherever you are. Your donation helps us continue creating platforms, telling authentic HBCU stories, and pushing our message to the world.

Every ticket. Every donation. Every share. Every conversation. It all helps move the culture forward. 🙏🏾

The work continues… and I’m just grateful to play my part.

See you on the Vineyard. 🍇✨

Some records never expire. 🎧🔥

Asked @djinfamous what songs never fail in the club… and he said “Hot Igga” and “No Hands.”

Now I gotta ask… do you agree, or what song never misses when the DJ drops it? 👇🏾

Some advice changes your career forever.

@djinfamous shares how @ludacris encouraged him not to sign under him — but to go build and secure his own deal.

“That’s money you can keep for yourself.”

Real mentorship. Real game. Real leadership. 💯
