Posted By: HBCU CONNECT on May 29, 2026 Check out this video from Bowie State University in Bowie, Maryland! In this episode of A Bold Take, we unpack the realities of life after graduation and explore what it truly means to redefine success beyond Bowie State University. Juwan Blocker (BSU ’21), podcast host, inspirational speaker, and media personality, shares how authenticity, growth, and lived experience shaped his personal and professional journey—challenging graduates to define success on their own terms rather than society’s timelines. The Meet Up Podcast: https://rss.com/podcasts/the-meet-up-podca... Fai Nelson, Human Resources Specialist and BSU alum, brings a multi-generational perspective on leadership, workforce development, and creating opportunities for young professionals through mentorship, internships, and community impact. LWVPGC Annual Meeting Special Guest Speaker: Delegate Tiffany Alston Date: Saturday, June 6th at 10:00 AM Registration Link: https://www.lwvmd.org/lwvpgcmd_tkt26 Kamrin Felton, Entrepreneurship major and graduating senior from the Class of 2026, discusses balancing creativity and business while building a future rooted in culinary innovation, entrepreneurship, and culture. Alfred E. Dixon, Mister Bowie State University and graduating senior, reflects on student leadership, identity, transition, and what it means to carry the Bulldog legacy into the next chapter of life. Antonio Jones, 50-year alum "Golden Graduate" Together, this conversation explores career pivots, leadership, uncertainty, growth, and the evolving definition of success after college. This episode serves as a reminder that graduation is not the finish line—it’s the first pivot. This episode is a powerful reminder of what it means to build, lead, and leave a lasting legacy.
