HBCU Dreams, PWI Reality: How Black Gen X Built the Bridge
About this episode
In this companion podcast episode, Tony Reeves reflects on the complicated bridge between HBCU dreams and PWI reality. Drawing from his Black Gen X college experience, he discusses representation, cultural isolation, the importance of Black-centered spaces, and the leadership lessons that came from learning how to survive and thrive in a place that was not built around him.
This episode explores what it means to belong, adapt, build community, and create the college experience you need when the institution does not automatically provide it.
