00:00The HBCU experience is a gift. While you can go to any university and get a great
00:11education, it's the family and the relationships and the security that you
00:16feel when you're here that's so important and I wish everybody could have that gift.
00:21To see people like us striving for greatness, just striving to make a
00:27difference in their life, trying to get a degree, trying to set yourself apart, put
00:30yourself ahead, that just matters to see them. One thing that Hampton has taught me
00:35that I always take with me is to let my life do the singing. It's a part of our
00:41song and it always rings true no matter where I am. If I'm having a hard time I
00:47have to remember that my life and how I live and the example that I lead is
00:51what's most important and so I always keep in the back of my mind just keep singing.
00:57My favorite part about homecoming is that it actually feels like a family
01:05reunion.
01:14To be able to come back year after year, I've never missed a year because it's so
01:19important to be able to just see all of those friendly faces, the famous Hampton
01:23has taught me to be a businesswoman above all to hold myself accountable for everything that I do and the environment here is just
01:28beautiful.
01:29I want to give them hugs. I live for them. I want to give them hugs. I live for them.
01:31So homecoming is just really a family reunion.
01:32All the alumni, parents, everybody's just here and it just feels like a cookout. Like a home cookout.
01:36Everybody's vibing. It's music, good food and of course the football game.
01:40Hampton has taught me to be a businesswoman above all to hold myself accountable for everything that I do and the environment here is just based on excellence and I just want to be excellent in everything I do because that's something that I embody and I just carry that with me all the time.
02:00I believe that you have to be the change you want to see and so I can't wait another minute because tomorrow could be too late.
02:09What drives me most is progression of the black community. I know that we've come a long way but we still have so far to go. It's all about us sticking together and supporting one another and knowing that we're stronger together.
02:23What drives me most and knowing that everybody I want to expose myself to UVSA employees in your own environment to do what's important.
02:30We've come
