TESTIMONIALS

HBCU Pa'lante provided me a comforting, engaging, and challenging environment to grow up, which mirrored what I saw at home in Brooklyn. As an undergraduate, Pa'lante taught me how to appreciate my culture through immersion thus organically diversifying my world view. In addition, I learned how diverse "Black" can be and position myself as an Afro-Latina woman armored with academic smarts, charisma, and unapologetic pride for my dual culture and the cornerstone significance of HBCU. Finally, HBCU Pa'lante showed me the significance of celebrating the African Diaspora community continuously and lift it up as I climb my career ladder. As an Educator, more specifically, the Seventh Grade Social Studies teacher, grade level chair, and Saturday Academy supervisor, at Hyde Leadership Charter School Brooklyn, I created a paradigm and platform for HBCU advocacy among urban middle and high school students.
