Alumni pride is more than a colorway and a sweatshirt that still fits; it’s a blueprint for lifting the next class higher. We open with real community energy—VIP raffle tickets, an all‑black affair, and an HBCU family night at the Wonder Chamber that doubles as a toy drive—then move into the stories that make those events matter: health wins, campus roots, and the alumni who keep the circle strong.

Our guest, a Wilberforce graduate who served on the National Alumni Association board and mentored current students, takes us inside her leap from quiet campus days to building a national staffing firm. Selected for Goldman Sachs’ One Million Black Women program, she breaks down what an accelerated MBA taught her about financials, marketing, customer fit, and pitch craft—and how that training now powers Lowry Staffing’s growth across legal, engineering, finance, and healthcare roles. She’s hiring interns, too, and the opportunities are remote, open to HBCU students nationwide.

We trade memories that still teach—professors like Dr. Grisby, Dr. Shittu, and Dr. Callender, snow days on the hill, and the choir reunion that snapped back into harmony as if no time had passed. Along the way, we discuss self-care and diabetes awareness, because leadership starts with taking care of your health. For students heading home for the holidays, you’ll hear firm, loving advice on valuing family, embracing structure, and seeking guidance from people who’ve walked the path.

If you care about HBCU history, career pipelines, and practical ways to help students thrive, you’ll feel right at home here. Tap in for the raffle and toy drive, share this with a student who needs an internship link, and then subscribe, rate, and leave a review so more families and future leaders can find us. Your share might be the bridge someone’s been waiting for.
