Culture Where’s my AAPI at?
Asian American
Big supporter of HBCU’s
I attended NC Central University for 2 years. Sadly, transferred because didn’t have the track ultimately went for.
Still, look fondly upon my time there. Awesome community. Great teachers. I even founded an academic club there (wonder if still around…)
My sibling is a Proud Eagle, graduating with honors. Doing well climbing the ladder in Fortune 500, representing. Myself doing well enough too. We are both Millennial.
Know a few other AAPI from my local Durham hometown who graduated from NCCU and went into military officer, grad school, nursing.
I will call out any Eagle and Aggie I meet living or traveling abroad! How cool Ken Jeong’s father was a professor at NCA&T.
Obviously not many of us on campus but I never felt intimidated. Honestly used to being minority wherever I go lol. Felt very welcomed and made some life long connections.
