Homecoming the Podcast

By: Rose and James
  • Summary

  • Our journeys to HBCUs weren’t planned, but they changed our lives. Howard gave boldness, confidence, and pride to a first-gen Nigerian American who barely knew what an HBCU was. Bowie turned a reluctant choice into a lifelong family, brotherhood through Omega Psi Phi and resilience shaped a hesitant student into a proud graduate. HBCUs gave us more than education—they gave us purpose, pride, and a deep connection to our culture. Through our podcast, we celebrate the magic of HBCUs, sharing stories of transformation, community, and the legacy that continues to inspire.


    We amplify the legacy of HBCUs—giving voice to untold experiences, bringing life to rich stories, and shining a light on their profound impact. Homecoming is the voice and heartbeat of HBCUs.
