My cheer sisters and I cheered at the Invesco QQQ Legacy Classic on Saturday, February 4, 2023 at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. It was a college basketball showcase featuring HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). It was created by Michael B. Jordan an actor and producer best known for his work in The Black Panther. He collaborated with other sports and entertainment giants in this second annual basketball classic. Hampton played Norfolk State in another “Battle of the Bay”. Delaware State played against Morgan State. It was a blast and can’t wait for next year!
The highlight was that I helped to organize a field trip for some of my mentees from Keys 2 Success to attend the game. It was a great introduction to HBCU life. This project is a part of the initiative that I am leading to create a pipeline and pathway for students in the underserved community in Newark, NJ to attend an HBCU and potentially play in the band!!
