Listen in as we share our nostalgia of School Daze and discuss our college experience and what it was like to attend a PWI (Trinity College) and a HBCU (Spelman College).  We reflect on our decisions to go to college in the U.S., our family’s engagement in the process and why going to college was important to us as African descendants. Also, we share our thoughts on the college experience today, in light of Beyonce’s Netflix rock-doc Homecoming and the recent college admissions scandal. (2-part episode)
