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.
