Building Stronger Communities with HBCUMADE #HBCUMADE #CommunityBuilding #HBCUs #Mentorship #CareerDevelopment #Networking

Rebuilding community is crucial for restoring the fabric of society that historical injustices and systemic inequities have torn apart. It fosters a sense of belonging, mutual support, and collective progress. For the Rebuild Foundation, this means creating an environment where economic empowerment, educational advancement, and entrepreneurial spirit can thrive, particularly in underrepresented communities. By focusing on these areas, we aim to honor the legacy of Black Wall Street and ensure that future generations have the tools and opportunities they need to succeed. Skánia Florestal, CEO & Founder of HBCUMADE

Over recent years, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have seen a significant rise in applications. We believe this trend reflects a growing recognition of the unique value and empowering environment that HBCUs offer. At HBCUMADE, we're proud to witness this shift, as it aligns with our mission to support and enhance these vital institutions. HBCUs provide not only quality education but also a rich community that fosters leadership, resilience, and cultural pride. As applications rise, so does the potential for these institutions to produce more graduates who are ready to lead and innovate in their fields. Let's continue to champion and support HBCUs as they pave the way for future generations of Black leaders and professionals.
