Episode 71: Gatekeepers of HBCU Culture (Part 1)
Manage episode 343963894 series 2802887
What's up Bougie Babes!!!! Its October so that means its HOMECOMING SEASON! In honor of this most poppin' occasion, we decided to focus on a college-based discussion that is making waves on the internet. A few weeks ago, several news outlets were featuring a story regarding an African American USC student who decided to start her own all-black majorette dance team at USC. She received high acclaim, and was even featured on Jennifer Hudson's talk show for creating a unique space that didn't exist prior at her predominantly white institution; however, reactions from Black Twitter tended to question why the USC student didn't choose to attend an HBCU if she was seeking a majorette dance experience. When our special guest, Kevin Taylor, entered the chat and posted about how attending a PWI doesn't lessen or devalue the black-ness of an individual, we knew we had to talk about it and speak on it. He's a good friend who has experience in both HBCU and PWI settings. Between reminiscing on our own memories from NC A&T, and breaking down what lead to Kevin's transition to UNC Charlotte, the conversation is just pure recreation. Grab your snacks, drinks, edges, and yearbook. We're getting you ready for homecoming!
