The ASU+GSV Conference was definitely one for the record books! My 5 biggest takeaways? • Network = strategy, not just support • HBCU faculty must be at every table • Culture is pedagogy, not decoration • Black founders are building legacy, not hype • Joy + justice = the future of education

I don’t understand why Black athletes don’t give their talent to Black colleges for this reason alone. Breaking your back for a college that had to be FORCED to admit Black ppl is crazy work.
