Texas advocates say a full investigation must be completed into the death of 17-year-old Anthoneil Williams II at the hands of police

The FAMU spirit was on full display this past week as the FAMU National Alumni Association (NAA) Broward County Chapter welcomed and celebrated its newest Rattlers during a special Student Send-Off at the E. Pat Larkins Community Center.

At the beginning of the summer, I went on my very first college tour called Teen Lift.

   The 2026 HBCU College Tour was more than just a trip. For me, it was an unforgettable experience that gave me a clearer vision of what my future could look like. Over four days, I had the opportunity to visit several outstanding campuses, including Valdosta State University, Albany State University, Clark Atlanta University, Spelman College, Morehouse College, North Carolina A&T State University, Johnson C. Smith University, and Fort Valley State University. Each college had its own unique atmosphere, but they all shared one important quality: a strong sense of opportunity. Walking across the campuses made the idea of college feel real. Visiting classrooms, student centers, libraries, residence halls, athletic facilities, and beautiful green spaces helped me imagine what my own college experience could be like. I enjoyed seeing students interacting with one another, participating in campus life, and preparing for their futures.

      I once heard a quote on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show that stayed with me longer than I expected: “Sometimes your light is too bright in a dark room.” At first, it felt like a clever saying, something you hear, nod to, and keep moving. But the more I reflected on it, the more I realized it wasn’t just clever, it was clarifying.
