Babygirl just sent me texts about this talk currently being given by Dr. Steve Perry at her University. As 1 of 2 Freshmen elected to Student Government she is front row, center. And even though it was optional, this 5,000k ballroom was packed to overflow w/students convened on their free time to address “If We Heal Our Men, We Heal Our World. #HBCU #Education #OurPast #OurPresent #OurFuture #Grateful #Parenthood #TheCollegeYears For those of you unfamiliar with Dr. Perry, a bit more about him here: Featured in CNNs Black in America series, Perry is the most talked about innovative educator on the scene today. Perry is the founder and principal of what U.S. News and World Report has cited as one of the top schools in the country, Capital Preparatory Magnet School in Hartford, Connecticut. Capital Prep has sent 100 percent of its predominantly low-income, minority, first generation high school graduates to four-year colleges every year since its first class graduated in 2006. Its an honor to be speaking at Hampton University, one of Americas oldest and most important historical black colleges, said Perry. Im truly excited about the possibility of interacting with some of Americas brightest students and to bring my expertise on higher education to the campus, in turn I look forward to learning from the students as well. In addition to being the principal of Capital Preparatory Magnet School, Perry, is an education contributor for CNN and MSNBC, an Essence Magazine columnist, best-selling author, and host of the No. 1 docudrama for TVONE “Save My Son.”
