It was an honor and a pleasure to attend AU NAACP's inaugural Image Awards last night. Members of the AU Black Alumni Alliance and Alumni Board were nominated and honored for their work around campus. Congrats to our very own LaTanya Sothern for being honored as the Alumni Mentor of the Year, as well as our beloved Belinda Peter from the Alumni Relations Office for being recognized as a Staff Memeber of the Year. The students did an amazing job coordinating this event. The energy, love, and sense of community in the room was magical. I'm looking forward to watching this event grow as we continue to celebrate the Black Excellence at American University! #EbonyEagles #BlackExcellence #AUBAA #AUNAACP #AmericanUniversity #AUAlumni #EbonyEagleProud (at American University) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bugv9L9BI0h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=38q0d34j2tgv

I had the pleasure of meeting David Davila last night at AU's Multicultural Career Connection. He and his wife own @DavilaKafe, a minority-owned business that supports the culture, communities, locals, and environments of Nicaragua and Haiti, where he and his wife are from, respectively. They are changing the coffee culture one bean at a time, and I'm enjoying every last drop! #SupportMinorityOwnedBusinesses #EbonyEagles #DavilaKafe #CoffeeCulture #AmericanUniversity https://www.instagram.com/p/BuG6xDmhdys/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rucqpbkzyqdw

Some of American University's best and brightest!

It's an absolute honor to serve the American University Black Alumni Alliance as Vice Chair. We are grateful to not only have a seat at President Burwell's table, but also a voice! I'm looking forward to serving students and alumni in our community and beyond! #AUBAA #EbonyEagles #OnceAnEagle #AlwaysAnEagle #VolunteerLife #ThreeKathys (at American University) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btoq8fHBKDa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w7lrts54fmwl

Tonight we celebrated the success of Bradley White and his tenure as the AU Black Alumni Alliance Chair and welcomed our new chair Gordon Fletcher. It's been an honor to work alongside both of these men on behalf of our community, and I look forward to serving as the Vice Chair next year! #AUBAA #EbonyEagles #EbonyEagleProud #VolunteerLife https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_Ng7blLRK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=65rw88f7bhk9
