Hurricane Florence wreaked havoc in North Carolina and across the South, and compared to the damage people suffered elsewhere we got off easily at Saint Augustine’s University. The impact on nearby places like Rocky Mount and Fayetteville ranged from power outages and flooding to damaged houses and cars, and the […]

It’s hard to believe my time has come
It’s hard to believe that on Saturday, May 12, beginning at 9 a.m., I will take part in a commencement ceremony. I am very excited at the prospect of being a Saint Augustine’s University graduate but it’s hard to believe I have been in college for four years. It seems […]
The CIAA Tournament really is all that!

We need to rethink what it means to be black
What does it mean to be black? Does it mean you listen to rap music, wear baggy clothes, live in impoverished neighborhoods and become a societal menace? Or does it mean to strive ad conform to being the closest thing to being white as possible, and denouncing your race? Or […]
The gift of giving, gives to you
Indeed, the holiday seasons are not the only times one can give back and make their contributions to someone in need.

Christmas break for me is […]

It’s Almost Time for Thanksgiving!
Fall has begun and the Thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, with Christmas being next. For the Saint Augustine’s University community, the turkey holiday starts on Wednesday, Nov. 22, at noon. Until classes resume at 8 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 27, hopefully, students, faculty, […]
Here’s a TV show I highly recommend
“Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown” is one TV show that I would unquestionably recommend that Saint Augustine’s University students watch. Bourdain is an American chef, author, and television personality. He studied at Vassar College and the Culinary Institute of America in New York City, his hometown, although Bourdain also spent a […]
