“We’re all about putting that spotlight on HBCUs and their students. It’s only the beginning.”
On the other hand, Reginae Carter helped a FAMU student, Zoe Mitchell, appreciate her melanated skin. While Mitchell grew up in a predominately white neighborhood, she was intentional in attending an HBCU.
