A phenomenal internship experience! Still reminiscing about ALC Week 😩

Las Vegas HBCU Classic Dump 🏈
Last month, I had the pleasure to attend Grambling State V. Jackson State’s football game as an influencer, where I made content about the HBCU football experience and how P&G has the best products for anyone and any lifestyle!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure to make content for Hbcugo.tv and P&G as an Alumni Influencer at this year’s CIAA Championship in Durham, North Carolina 🔥

It is always an honor to show HBCU culture and excellence, and I’m grateful for P&G for being apart of this amazing partnership.

Official Video dropping soon!

No return offer. No master’s program acceptance. But I’m still standing — and still growing.

After 10+ internships since high school, I’ve had moments of clarity, breakthrough… and deep disappointment. I didn’t always get the “yes” I worked for, but what I did get was something more lasting: purpose, self-awareness, and the power to pivot.

With approaching, I decided to share the story behind the resume — the one most students don’t talk about. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a reflection on learning, letting go, and finding your voice, even when things don’t go as planned.

✨ Whether you’re in high school, college, or post-grad figuring things out — this one’s for you.

Feel free to share with a student or young professional who needs this reminder: you’re allowed to pivot.
