So, this happened. 😃

While touring NYU, we had the pleasure of running into Dr. S. Jones, an esteemed professor at the university.

For more context on her work, Dr. Jones has a class that centers Black women, and it’s entitled “Detangling the Business of Black Women’s hair.”

We really love to see it and are so glad for the off chance for our students to meet her as we toured NYU! 💜

Safe to say we enjoyed “thriller” night at !

Who wants to be an Optician?

Here you are! Hot information from our board member Kendrick Dixon.

I am sharing this message from Dr. Glenda Glover, President of Tennessee State University and her Community Affairs Liaison, Mrs. Barbara Murrell. There is a program between TSU and Meharry Medical College where the student would go to TSU for three years and then on to Meharry and finish to become an MD or DDS in 7 years instead of the traditional 8 years.

They have enough African American females already signed up for the program however they have no African American males. If you know any Afrocan American males who are high school seniors that want to become a medical doctor, have a 28 on the ACT and a 3.5 GPA, I have a possible free ride for them at Tennessee State University. You can send prospective candidates information to:

[email protected]. I will forward to President Glover and Mrs. Barbara Murrell.

The student’s info needs to be submitted ASAP.
