How to Reach Hillman® is very layered. On top: if you instantly think about A Different World, that's right. This entire concept was born from meeting the cast as they were on their first HBCU Tour back in 2016. I had this thought that actual high school students need to know HOW to REACH (their) Hillman... and here we now are. In the middle: if you're somebody (an adult) who has ever been told that an HBCU is not for you, you didn't have anyone to support your aspirations to attend an HBCU, or you don't live in an HBCU state...but you now see that How to Reach Hillman® is a real thing for today's student, it's because I've had countless adults express those reasons to me. It doesn't have to be that way for today's student. Especially not on my watch. Somewhere else in the middle: is my desire to highlight the inequities that exist in college access and HBCU access (in particular) and how it directly impacts Black students and their ability to pursue higher education, especially at institutions where *they* are centered and the norm, i.e. HBCUs. At the bottom: is my belief that students are exceedingly capable of designing their own futures, but they need people, resources, and tools that are intentional and empower them to consider all viable possibilities. So, I created How to Reach Hillman® to be all that and more. Here's what that looks like for the next two weeks: I am promoting the first How to Reach Hillman® LIVE workshop (since 2020). The LIVE workshop is on Monday, July 8, 2024 and it's exclusively for rising high school seniors and their parents as they are preparing to apply to HBCUs this coming Fall. My LIVE workshops do have a capacity because quality and individualized support matter greatly to me.

By 2026, the HBCU Transformation Project hopes to support a positive change in life trajectories for 22,000 Black Americans. Education is a key driver of social and economic mobility in the US. But opportunities for higher education haven’t always been accessible for all Americans— particularly for Black, Latinx, and low-income communities — because of systemic racism and other barriers. By supporting and expanding inclusive, accessible pathways to higher education, we move the needle toward a more equitable future. Our collaboration with Thurgood Marshall College Fund, UNCF, and Partnership for Education Advancement aims to strengthen operations, fundraising, performance management, and technology infrastructure at 40 participating HBCUs, with an end goal of maximizing their potential impact and the ripple effects of their successes within surrounding Black communities. https://lnkd.in/d72AY9AM
