It's a debate that happens frequently in Black households with a college-bound student — to attend a historically Black college or university (HBCU) or a predominately white institution (PWI)? Which type of college experience is better for an African-American student?

We'll talk about the issue with two recent graduates who took very different higher educational paths, along with the director of counseling from a local high school who advises students on both options.

For many African American parents and their children, the "talk" - how Black children are to act when interacting with police - is a necessary rite of passage especially as teens begin to drive. Now parents, regardless of race or ethnicity, are having a new "talk" — this time on how to prepare for a school shooting. The numbers vary depending on the criteria used to define a school shooting, but according to the K-12 School Database, there have been 146 incidents at schools in 2025, including the most recent in Minneapolis, where a gunman killed two students and injured 17 others before taking his own life. We hear from an expert on the best way to help your child prepare for the possibility of a school shooting, and how to process emotions when they happen. Licensed professional counselor Kirsten High shares how to communicate with compassion and without fear.
