✨ #FBF to a reminder that the future of Philly is already in the room.
Our Director of Development at the Philadelphia Education Fund (@philaedfund ), Emily Jordan shared something powerful at the @uncf_philly Mayor’s Masked Ball:
👉 Young people already have the ideas, creativity, and vision to shape the next 250 years of this city.
Sometimes students just need the space, support, and encouragement to bring those ideas to life. 💡
“The future is in your hands.”

You are LIMITLESS!
We caught up with Miss Philadelphia @missphiladelphiaorg at @uncf_philly Mayor’s Masked Ball and she reminded us that the future isn’t something we wait for, it’s something we create.
With the right community behind you: 💡 opportunity becomes possible 💡 dreams become reality
👉 “The only limit to your imagination is the limit you place on yourself.”

✨ #FBF to @uncf_philly Mayor’s Masked Ball to a message every young person needs to hear:
“College is a foundation.”
Joseph Hill reminds us that success starts with building something strong and education is one of the best places to start.
For young Black boys especially, the key is simple: 👉 Stay curious 👉 Explore your passions 👉 Don’t be afraid to try something different

✨ #FBF to a powerful message for the next generation.
Senator Sharif Street @sensharifstreet reminded us at this year’s @uncf_philly Masked Ball that the future belongs to young people who move with intention.
From being a @uncf scholarship recipient to a leader in Philadelphia, his journey shows what’s possible when opportunity meets preparation.
HBCUs don’t just give you an education, they give you mentorship, community, and doors that open long after graduation. Step into your future. Because one day… 👉 you’ll be the one carrying it forward.

TALK MAJOR 🎓 | @uncf_philly Special Edition
One class can really change your whole direction… 📍
For this special edition of Talk Major, we asked current and former HBCU students at last week’s @uncf_philly Mayor’s Masked Ball about the courses that impacted them the most and their answers tell powerful stories. From African American Experience to web programming and criminal justice courses focused on juvenile offenders, each class sparked purpose, perspective, and passion.
