Hidden Figures to me showed Black women in mathematics and science. I learned again of another Black accomplishment that Black women sent the astronaut to the moon during the space war with the Soviet Union( Russia). It dealt with racism in the workplace and the military, but they resisted. Then as a Black man, we saw black love and families.
This was a great event. I am apart of the delivery crew for Sodexo Company. My running partner and I loved it, we helped set up, brought the food and drinks, going back and forth all day, and cleaned up after the event.
The Woman King tackled the hegemonic notions on Black women not being in highly skilled positions such as an army general. Also, it dealt with the historical issue of the slave trade and its affects in the New World. Then, it was African centered, so the culture reflected its myths, religion, language, way of life.
I love the trivia, we as Black people have to know our history and be proud of accomplishments
To me it was a great experience to network with different companies and organizations that seek out
college students and make their footing professionally at the door. What I liked about the event is that it is preparing you for your job application and how to work on your networking skills. I will be applying for summer internships and jobs before summer begins. Thank You
It was a fun exercise to recap but also find new information about the amazing things Black people do everyday in the world. Thank God for our month!!!
Look, I am just glad that their was even an scholarship for me to apply to. Many of those scholarships did not apply to me but I did not give up and I found one. I am still going to be searching and applying for scholarships no matter what and I appreciate the UNCF organization putting up scholarship to help students of color pay for college
Voting is important so that I can exercise my rights in the political process. I vote for the commitment of our leaders to create change in disadvantage communtites.
Completing the FAFSA application will grant me an opportunity to finish college and pay for college. Although it is a federal loan, the school or a online website can provide me scholarship to pay off the loan.
It is more than just completing the assignment because anything can happen in college. Plus sexual assault is real and we address this issue by helping people get back in the real world with education, resources, community engagement, and public policy to ensure the victim some type of justice.
