Im a junior in hs and most of the colleges im looking into are PWIs especially bcuz of my major. Ive been watching a lot of these vids. I am growing up in the suburbs, but when i think about it, most of my schools have been predominantly black. So it may be a bit of an adjustment. I just dont like racism

[@Thejanaimani]

Hey I totally get what you mean. I would say tho don’t let the possibility of racist encounters deter you away from a great opportunity. The fact of the matter is there are racists everywhere, if not today then tomorrow, there’s always something. Look into each of your options and see how the minority community is at that school, those will be your people to lean on in that environment. If you’re 1st pick is a PWI don’t not choose it bc you don’t want to deal with racism. Being at these schools you grow stronger in your community and you can help to educate and make an impact on those outside the community. If a PWI is your 1st pick for all other reasons I say go for it💕

[@Thejanaimani]

[@kyrajoseph8494]

I am currently thinking of going to Binghamton can you do a video based on being black at that school specifically

[@Thejanaimani]

I’m speaking from my experience when giving this advice, but I also did a video on my freshman year experience that talks about specifically how my year went at Binghamton!

[@verajones2774]

Hello I'm am a biracial between black and white how do I deal with these white kids and teachers either saying the n word or being racist help I'm the only black kid at my school😭

[@its_syck]

Stand up for yourself and your culture! It's disrespectful that they think it's okay to do that. IF IT'S SAFE, you may need to put these people in their places.
