Hello Eddie, I am new to the HBCU-CONNECT. I am in the New Orleans East a lot, because my daughter lives in that area. Have you connected with the Alpha's in the Divine Nine? I am a Zeta, I work with the youth auxiliary in the River Parishes. You would be a great speaker for the young men when school reopen. How about it?
