Part III - āAggie born, Aggie bred, and when I die Iāll be Aggie dead.ā
Hereās my story: I like to call myself last one best one, cause BABY, this gown makes me the last of 6 children raised out of Baltimore City to see it through to a Bachelorās degree! Still, even though Iām 6 of 6, it makes me the first to do it in 4, to go to an HBCU, and to know what it feels like to look up to a full bloodline of Black EXCEPTIONALISM.
In a mere 24 hours the journey is done. 3 major changes, 2 semesters off and a whirlwind of self advocacy, and yet, in 24 hours, I will be graduating with a B.A. in Professional English from the #1 public HBCU, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for all the support Iāve had during my time hereāprofessors, advisors, mentors, family, and friendsāI could not have done it alone. When I came to A&T I had no clue where Iād end up, I picked up a major and went about my day. Little did I know that was just the beginning. My path was not straight and narrow, there were lots of bumps in the road and redirections, but my goal was always the same. I can say now that I achieved it just the way I sought out. When I walk across that stage I can say it was all worth it: the late nights, the doubting thoughts, the tired heads, the endless assignments just thrown up to God; theyāll all mean nothing more than marks of my perseverance and drive. When you step out on faith and belief in the blessings God has placed on you, there is nothing that canāt be done.
To those who believed in me, look at what we did, and to those who didnātā¦oh well boohoo I did it anyway! I thank A&T for all of the opportunities it provided to me, but to name a few:
* Aggie Live Poetry Society Vice President (2024-2026)
* Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society
* Undergraduate Research Symposium
* Student North Carolina Association of Educators Historian (2023-2025)
* 2x Published Poet
* 6x Deanās List
Time really flies when youāre at A&T ;(
Thank you family, thank you friends, thank you Aggies, and most importantly, thank you God!
My story doesnāt end here, next stopā¦M.S.!

Tomorrow May 9th Iāll officially be known as an North Carolina A&T State University Alumni. Itās been a long time since I was that freshman living in *Redacted* trying to find his way and figure out where Im supposed to go and who I am supposed to be. Iāve been through many trials and tribulations to get to this point. Without God in my life I never couldāve made it this far for it is him who has kept me all this time, so first and foremost I thank him. I want to thank everyone whoās helped me get this far and encouraged me to keep pushing through every trial and every loss. I want to acknowledge my people who couldnāt be here to celebrate with me, my uncle Maurice Andrews, my best friend Jayden Harrison, and his mother Susan Harrison. I pray theyāre looking down at me from heaven praising my achievement of Graduating from the Illustrious North Carolina A&T State University. I lost myself for a long time but now I find myself as the man writing these words preparing himself to walk across the stage.

These pictures are dedicated to the people who will be watching me from above as I walk across the stage. I especially want to mention my Grandma Leila and Uncle Harold. Grandma Leila would have me collecting eggs from the chicken coop as a little girl, and Uncle Harold would sit in the goat pen for hours every day. These are just some of the memories that helped grow my love for animals long before this Animal Science degree. š¤ššš
Part II - For all the colored girls.
A&T bred in me a pride like nothing Iāve ever known. What a unique experience it was to be surrounded by the most gifted and exceptional minds that fought the odds stacked against them. Oh to be young, gifted, and Black.
Before I came to A&T, that was a part of me I neglected, it was the whole reason I knew an HBCU was the right choice in the first place. Being from where Iām from I never had a deep sense of the beauty, power, and resilience that came with who I am. I canāt count on two hands all the times I tried to place myself closer to people that would never let me be the woman I deserved to be. It took too many years to understand that. Thankfully, I found my best self when I remembered that I am fearfully and wonderfully made as was intended, and A&T backed me up.
Iām proud of the woman I am, the skin Iām in, and the culture I carry.
Going into the real world now Iāll miss seeing myself reflected back at me every day, but Iāll be forever grateful for the moments I had.
Part I : Behind every woman is a bridge between her faith and her reality.
The woman I grew to be would not have been possible without the community I had behind me. It took so many hard choices and leaps of faith to blossom into the woman Iām proud to say I am today. The way I grew and changed over these 4 years is something Iāll never forget. I feel honored to have been able to have every experience I did. Itās bittersweet to close this chapter of my life, but I take it in stride because I know I have been privileged enough to have walked through it anyways. I canāt say I know how life will change me next, but my time here showed me I am ready to take it on.
Alumna status loadingā¦.
Coming into A&T, I had no idea what to expect. I was getting ready to leave my home and find myself at a school 9 hours away from everything familiar to me. I knew it wasnāt going to be easy, but I also knew that God wouldnāt have led me here for nothing. He knew that this magical place was going to change me in ways that I couldnāt even begin to fathom as long as I followed his guidance.
Thank you A&T for 4 years that I wouldnāt change for the world. You have taught me so much about myself and what it means to be an Aggie in and outside of the classroom. Aggieland will forever hold a special place in my heart. šš
Sincerely,
