A Different World: How Different the World Has Become

from TracyMac Peace Place Hosted by TracyMac

A Different World: How Different the World Has Become A Different World is coming back, and whew...the world sure is different. I was 18 when I entered college with ideas about what HBCU life was supposed to look like, partly because Hillman had shown me. I even wrote about it years later in my first book, The Book of Purpose: The YOU Testament, published in 2013. Now, almost 40 years later, I'm looking back at the TV show, my own HBCU experience, the professor who changed how I saw myself, and the funny full-circle realization that HBCU life eventually made its way into my own fiction, Brown Sugar Beach. Let's talk about representation, expectations, being different, and finally realizing you don't have to become somebody else's definition of who you're supposed to be. Come sit with me.
