An Update

Me and Kay Hagan.

The Trophy I Won.

First off, it is of the utmost importance that I apologize for not blogging on my experiences recently.
I will attempt to "catch" everyone up to date in chronological order.

In my last blog, I stated that I won the competition called Wild Out Wednesday. In this Blog I have included a picture of the trophy, and a video. The video can be found here: http://www.campusecho.com/video-wildin-out-1.1012071

NCCU is building its second home with Habitat for Humanity. I volunteer there working to help build the home, as the recipient of this home is a staff member at NCCU. I was at the ground breaking ceremony. At this ceremony I met Senator Kay Hagan, District Representative Larry D. Hall of the 29th district of North Carolina, and I also met Mayor William V. Bell of Durham. I have included a picture of me and Kay Hagan as well.

I was asked to usher at the 75th annual committee on the Durham affairs of black people a few weeks ago. There I again met Mayor Bell and Representative Larry D. Hall. Representative Larry Hall spoke with me about being his intern for the fall semester. I also met Shirley Caesar at this event.

Last weekend, I attended the Honda Battle of the Bands in Atlanta GA it was held in the Georgia Dome. NCCU's Marching Sound Machine did an amazing job! The Battle of the Bands is not a competition, it is an exhibition therefore a winner is not chosen. Ludacris, the rapper, performed.

I've also been very busy collecting toiletries for Haiti with the Emerging Leaders Program. Today I gave blood during a blood drive that was sponsored by the American Red Cross for Haiti. I've also been collecting money for Haiti along with SGA. Also with SGA we are working on a petition to take to the NC Board of Governor’s about an 8% tuition increase.

This week on Thursday at 8pm-9pm I will be on NCCU's radio station called Audionet and I will perform spoken word. You can listen to it on channel 9 on Thursday at 8 pm. For my off campus subscribers you can listen here: http://www.nccu.edu/academics/sc/liberalarts/english/audionet/listen.cfm

This Saturday, I will be in South Carolina for with my fellow emerging leaders, we are going to the University of South Carolina for a leadership and diversity conference.
