HBCU INTERVIEWS - ABOUT US AND (Y)OUR MISSION

Why did we found HBCUInterviews.com? Because nowhere else on the internet did anyone care to tell the true stories of greatness and triumph at Historically Nubian or Black Colleges and Universities around the united states. It did not exist anywhere. And eventually we realized that what we saw as a blatant wrong was actually a calling and opportunity for us to provide to yourself and others an outlet to share your hbcu experience. Your story. Solely unique to you.

Why so many interview questions? Because no one has or is documenting the HBCU stories of the next generation or the Alumni (elders). And plus those things in life which are valuable require the most detail care and love.

TIME IS PRECIOUS. If you have ever lost anyone in your life you understand that they are gone in the tangible form forever, though their spirit lives forever through you. But once your elder or family member in your life is gone they can not answer questions about their life, your history or what they have seen or anything – so you must sit and listen while you can spend time with them. And that is what we have decided to do here at HBCUInterviews.com. So please answer every question and type as much as you want. Their is no character length or time limit on giving and receiving wisdom. Yes this is a long page but the truth has no character limit either, so sit and read and enjoy!

THE TRUTH IS BEAUTIFUL. We have created this site to tell people the truth about HBCUs the good, the bad, and the ugly without bias through interviews with people such as yourself. Our goal is to forever provide interviews vis a vis insight into each individual's mind that attended or attends an HBCU and/or is successful out in the world.

EACH ONE REACH ONE. The reason being because with each person that views this site, they will see themselves in at least one of the interviewees - this is the spirtual or soulful connection. For instance, if someone was raped as a child or told by their parents that they were wortheless and nothing just like their father or mother or just called wretched for no reason at all. That child would grow up to believe that and eventually grow to be nothing (ironically).....But there is hope, because eventually that youth will come across your interview or someone else's interview who went through the same ordeal (or worse) and see that you or that person still graduated from college and achieved amidst all of the negativity and hardships of their past.

Please take note that interviews are constantly being added on to, in the sense that - well lets say you are interviewed and you email you responses back to our site. Once we receive your interview we will automatically post it then we will add pertinent links to it for use by other websites and the like. All for the purpose of increasing knowledge and awareness.

For Example if your Favorite Soul Food Spot right off of Bowie State's campus is Henry's Soul Cafe and you write that in your response for the interview. Then we would provide a link to that restaurant Henry's Soul Cafefor others to easily identify and link with your tastes.

 

That is our goal - to encourage the youth to seek a higher education so that they (and ultimately we – yourself included) can innovate the world around us and instead of working for others, we can work for ourselves and redefine antiquated professions and create new professions as well.

HBCUInterviews is for your neice, your newphew, your daughter, your son -- anyone that you know and love that is about to reach college age or is a youth - even older adults as well.

Education is the key and knowledge is power. Back when we were free from european colonization and disease; from the beginning of time (when we were the only huemans on earth) to the early 1500s, we were rulers of ourselves and moreso of our own lands – we provided the brain power for OUR various professions and fields and we created them based on OUR own culture.

EACH ONE TEACH ONE. The time has come for us to do this again on a much larger scale and it all begins with education. Just think without some form of formal or non formal education you would not be able to read or write and even participate in the basic pleasantries and events of daily life.

Testimonial
 “I loved the black college experience and wish to share it with as many as would listen. I have 5 businesses now and never would have been able to start one without the 'education' I received from Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University sitting on the highest of 7 hills in the illustrious Tallahassee Florida. Go Rattlers."
