Hi everyone, this is Jacelle Bryant, one half of the hit podcast,

reasonably shady on the Black Effect podcast network.

You also might know me as one of the stars of the Real Housewives of Potomac,

I'll be sitting down for a conversation with a few names you know,

and families by leveling the playing field in education, sports, and life.

A couple of years apart, which is a little older than me, I would have to say, but...

Let's start off with HBCUs, Jizelle, why did you decide to attend an HBCU?
