Top Life Defining Moments in Higher Education:

Being 1st Person in my family to graduate from college

When in College, I Experienced:

Graduating from an HBCU was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life (Under Grad). I experienced Racism and Homelessness, (Master's Program). I overcame those challenges. My goal was to graduate and not move back to New Orleans. My purpose was to prove that every young black man in New Orleans can do it!
