Beauties of the Month - Jacqueline C.
I want to nominate my mom (pictured) who is a Breast Cancer survivor and share her journey. It was a tough journey and she overcame that battle in August of this year. She lost her husband (my father) to cancer and then 7 years later, she was diagnosed herself. After battling a brain tumor and then Breast Cancer, she survived ! No battle is easy, but she handled the fight gracefully ! She is currently still going to appointments and taking chemotherapy in the form of a pill. To be my only parent standing strong with God as the head of our household is victory!

Beauties of the Month - Sasia M.
On October 17, 2013, I went to have my mammogram like I always do and I was not really worried or concerned about anything because I did a self-examination and didn’t FEEL anything. My examination was over and done with and I went about my business and then, I received a letter in the mail. I happened to be having a phone conversation and while we were talking, I went silent. He asked, “are you still there?” and I replied, “yes, I just received a letter stating that my mammogram was abnormal and that I needed to go have another one.”

Beauties of the Month - Mary C.
I had my mammogram as usual in June of 2012. The results came back and everything was good. Later that year in early December, I casually ran my hand across my right breast and I felt a lump so the next morning, I scheduled an appointment with my doctor. On my visit, he said he wanted to schedule another mammogram and ultrasound. Two days later, the woman who was performing the mammogram told me she would be right back and came back with the Chief Radiologist. I didn't have just 1 lump, but I had another lump forming underneath the lump that I found. A biopsy was done immediately the next day.
5 Ways to Educate Yourself Without Going Back to School
One of the most awesome gifts that life gives us is an abundance of opportunities to better ourselves. We all know that we should welcome and embrace every chance to learn. With all of that, when we talk about learning people automatically jump to the assumption that learning can only be done in a classroom with heavy textbooks and a whiteboard full of notes. Nope...that’s totally not true. Learning can happen anywhere! There are so many fantastic ways to further educate yourself and not one of them forces you to go back to school.
Black History 101 - 4 Things You Didn't Know about HBCUs
When you think of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, there are some things that probably pop into your mind. Black intellectuals making their mark on the world, step shows and fantabulous marching bands are likely what you think of first. Just pondering it probably made you think of those uber talented drum majors that set things off at every game and major event. YES! We love them. But, in all honesty, that’s kind of a limited view of our dear beloved HBCUs. HBCUs are all of that and so much more.
5 Must Watch Movies on the Black College Experience

These and other unique trademarks have made their way on to the big screen, showing audiences the nuances and complexities of HBCU life. Here are 5 films on the black college experience that you need to see:
