It’s exciting to be a member of Bison Express!! It allows me to connect with the HU community and positively impact our student-athletes and the various athletic programs.

What does being a member of Bison Express Board mean to you?

I joined Bison Express because of my complete and overt passion for sport. I am a student of the game and knew that by joining Bison Express, I would be around similar minds that revered the impact that sports has not only had on our nation, but at Howard specifically. Howard is uniquely positioned to excel in athletics over the coming years because of the amount of sheer talent coming out of the black community in every sport in this country. I am excited to harness that talent, invest in that talent, enfranchise that talent, and help lead Howard to become the dominant athletic institution that we are destined to be! HU!!!
