Yesterday I was scheduled to blog, but a good friend invited me to attend yesterday’s Cubs vs. White Sox game.  How could I resist   The Cubs are what Chicago’s all about!  If you haven’t visited Wrigleyville during the summer, you don’t know what you’re missing.

The Cubs lost, but, I had a BLAST and I was looking forward to singing our song:  “Go Cubs Go.”  Check it out here! Well, I’m back and working hard on my next post.  In the meantime:

Now that I have your attention…

I'm proud to have attended & graduated from Jackson State University (a HBCU). At JSU, I learned the true meaning of struggle, brotherhood, and perseverance. Also, I had the chance to develop life-long relationships that continue today.

Personally, I chose to attend a HBCU to cultivate identity and community. Moreover, I wouldn't trade my HBCU experience for anything in the world.
After JSU, I attended PWI's (predominately White Institutions), but it was my JSU experience which shaped my life by strengthening the entrepreneur in me.

At JSU we were always encouraged to do our own thing, be strong, and trust God to grant you wisdom in all areas of life. Being in a place where educated Black people were the majority helped me to develop an "I can make it mentality."
Therefore, I will make my annual pilgrimage to Jackson, MS for a homecoming experience second to none. During this weekend, we will lay aside our titles, degrees, and become one. THIS IS SOMETHING THOSE WHO ATTENDED PWI's WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND…IT'S A BLACK THING…
