"People love entertainment. Show videos of events going on at the schools.
Like a snippet of the frats & sorities doing a dance.
In addition, show returning students participating in activities in school. "
"I like to do a variety of different things for fun. First traveling, then learning something new like golfing, sailing, and skiiing. Basically anything that does not harm me and I consider it part of the good life."
"From a woman prospective, encouraging them and showing them the benefits of education. Seeing the pros and inviting black men events that project possible impacts of education and possiblities."
"I plan to finish this year strong by finishing my first semester n graduate school, taking an international vacation somewhere other than jamaica and bahamas, preferably Europe. Lose that extra 26 pounds (so I will be back at 135 pounds...LOL) by exercising and eating healthier. Continue networking by staying off the couch watching the idiot box and living more."
"My goals is to obtain my PhD within five years concentrating in global health. Continue to give back to communities that face disparities and share and educate others."
"My ultimate objective is to obtain my PhD in global health and help minorities improve the quality of life. So, I start with public health and informing them of their rights, involvement, and responsibility."

Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

What Would You Like To See On This Site:

Did You See The CNN Special Entitled "Black In America":
Got it! "The girl's name Veronica \v(e)-roni-ca, ver(o)-nica\ is pronounced ver-RON-ni-kah. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "true image". Saint Veronica (17th century) was an Italian mystic and saint. She was said to have offered Jesus a cloth to wipe his face as he faltered on his way to crucifixion. She obtained a miraculous "true image" (in Latin "a vera icon") of Jesus' face on the cloth. Also variant of Bernice (Greek) "bringer of victory". "http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Veronica
