From athletics to academics, she's involved in all aspects on campus. And if you ask Gabrielle, everyone should attend Howard (or minimally an HBCU!) because it's an experience that can't be replicated.

In Episode 11, Kendyl Terrell is joined by Southern baseball player Jerry Burkett II.

Jerry dreamt of playing for LSU, but knew that if that didn't happen then he would only want to play for an HBCU. So still going to school in Baton Rouge and getting to play against (and spoiler: beat!) LSU was a dream come true.

Overall, Jerry took full advantage of the full HBCU experience by being an athlete, president of SAAC, a member of Kappa Alpha Psi and more. He was very intentional about his time in college and wants to encourage others to make the most of their time at their HBCU.
