      Excited to be back from an unforgettable journey with my teens (Semira & Jayla)! We traveled to Detroit, Michigan from Los Angeles, California for an HBCU Black Empowerment Tour. They traveled to several historically black colleges and landmarks. I was really impressed with the level of planning and safety rules enforced by Crystal and the other staff members and volunteers. All along the way they stopped for bonding activities, amusement parks, mixers, presentations and even a sneaker ball. They both came back with tons of keepsakes, pictures and stories to tell. 🥰💖💝 lol. I would definitely recommend this trip for all high school students aspiring to go to an HBCU for its rich history, experience and culture! #SpringBreak2024 #HBCUTour #familybonding #detroitmichigan #blackisbeautiful #blackexcellence
