Before I start sharing all my Homecoming pictures, I want to begin with something that always touches my heart: my annual Tuskegee University Homecoming dorm giveback. 💛💜 For the past nine years, I’ve returned to my original dorm, now formally known as Nurses Hall, to bless the young ladies living in my old freshman dorm room. I bring each of them a goodie bag, my business card, and $100. This tradition began during my freshman year. I was so excited when I saw my high school principal, Dr. Snead, on the Avenue during Homecoming. He was the one who inspired me to attend Tuskegee. He reached into his pocket and handed me a crisp $50 bill. You couldn’t tell me anything! That moment became a Homecoming highlight—not just because of the money, but because he remembered me. He encouraged me to make Tuskegee proud and give back. I vowed then that I would always do just that. The young ladies were so engaging. I loved their energy and hearing about their dreams and goals. And when the cameras stopped, we shared a few untold stories that should probably stay in the dorm! 🤣 We talked about dating and what life was like 38 years ago. I also showed them pictures of the dorm and what my room looked like when I lived there, pointing out how much has changed. For many years, my BFF Nikki—whom I met in that very dorm when I was 18—has joined me for the giveback. This year was extra special. As we were wrapping up, she turned to me and said, “Let’s pray.” And so we did. 🙏🏽 My heart is full. I’m grateful for the people who poured into me, for the chance to pour into these young women, and for the memories and friendships Tuskegee gave me. I’ll keep coming back, keep encouraging, and keep giving back. ❤️💛 #SkegeeProud #DormGiveback #HomecomingGiveback - @tadda27
