In just 5 days I’ll be walking that stage…

Coming out of St. Louis, college wasn’t the dream people around me talked about.
I was the kid gaming for hours, riding my skateboard, and staying in my own world — never imagining I’d end up here, crossing the stage at Prairie View A&M University.

But life has a way of leading you exactly where you’re meant to be.

And here I am.
After everything I’ve been through — the obstacles, losses, reroutes, and restarts — I made it. Not perfectly, not painlessly, but purposefully.

PV didn’t just give me a degree… it gave me a new mindset, a new direction, and a whole new family.

I grew.
I struggled.
I elevated.
I found purpose.
I found family.
I found Phi Beta Sigma — the brotherhood that sharpened me and gave me a place to stand tall.

I didn’t grow up around a lot of people talking about college… but I’m proud to be the one who stepped out, stepped up, and stayed the course. I wasn’t “supposed” to be here — but God had other plans.

Now look at me:
✔️ Student Recruiter | 200+ Tours
✔️ Director of Bigger & Better Business
✔️ Event Planner & Campus Leader
✔️ Spr’ 24 ΔΘ
✔️ 2022–2025 Honor Roll & Dean’s List
✔️ Advocate for the next generation of Panthers

A product of St. Louis resilience and PV greatness — and I’m just getting started.

Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing loading…
Thank you, Prairie View. I’ll carry this place with me forever. 🎓💙🤘🏾
