We are proud of ourselves, FAM, and our partners for the work we all do in building a world where Black people, alongside all others, are defined by their aspirations and contributions, not by limitations or stereotypes. #BlackLOVEPledge

The @BMeCommunity brotherhood and all of our relationships will most definitely last a lifetime. No matter where we go in the world, we're able to reflect on how our bonds became stronger through this powerful network. It's always beautiful when you hear someone say Be Who? BMe!

While #Juneteenth means something different to everyone, the root is still the same. Our ancestors laid the foundation for Black L.O.V.E. and at BMe we will continue down the path until all Black people have the freedom to Live. Own. Vote. and Excel. #BMeCommunity #NextNarrative

When it comes to restoring the right to vote, @sheena_meade is helping lead the charge. Under Sheena’s leadership, The Clean Slate Initiative has helped pass legislation that provides a path for 6M people to receive full or partial record clearance. NextNarrativePledge.org

“My work is deliberate—to see Black students as assets, to lift up their experiences, to lift up their humanity. To help stakeholders in higher education design policies [and] create climates on campus for Black students to succeed.”

@AU_SchoolofEd professor Brian McGowan's research is driven by a key question: How do minoritized individuals experience the college classroom? An expert in race and equity in higher education, he centers the perspectives of Black college students in his work. #AUChangeCantWait
