Spelman College Ambassador Update
This week I have finished my contest and the judging period has now started. In terms of my African-Diaspora post I am looking towards the topic of West Africa and their relationship with the U.S. But despite this, I am also looking towards doing something with the Black Panther Party and highlighting the women that were a part of the party. I am not a fan of insects or bugs,so I was not excited about next week's topic but nonetheless I started my search terms as being very generic; *insects + bugs, *spiders.
Below i have attached one of the submissions from my contest:
Black Child
Nurturing and Necessary
Empowering through educational excellence
A place that you can call home
No matter how far you come
They exist for us
Black women and men
Dedicated to our growth
Our understanding
Our evolution
Our happiness
107 in total
Which one will you choose?
I have learned to view history in a new lens
A lens that is beyond historically fairytales and basic information
I have learned how to project when I speak
I have learned to lean on my sisters
I have learned how to let my light shine
I have learned how to be me, unapologetically
I am loved
I am supported
Thank you, Spelman

My story is very similar to the videos above, as there has been only option that intrigued my young high-school senior mind, which is firstly a HBCU, secondly Spelman College. I knew that I did not want to stay in Virginia Beach, Virginia, I was ready to explore!
