Ain't Nothing Like A Howard Girl: Kenisha Beresford

In this episode of Ain't Nothing Like A Howard Girl the pod within a pod, Ms. Reid chats with fellow School of B graduate Kenisha Beresford.

This conversation took place in the Summer of 2022 just before both women's 10th Homecoming Anniversary, Kenisha is a Hospitality Management Graduate in Howard University's Class of 2012, from Queens, NY. She gets candid about her entrepreneurship journey and her critique of the University.

Kenisha talked about respecting students before they become alumni instead of treating them like numbers on campus and dollar signs once they've gone. She shared her deep affection for our Alma Mater, as well as some solutions for her concerns, believing no amount of love for Howard should stop us from expecting accountability.

Both women discussed how Howard open their eyes to the many ways there are to exist as a Black person, and recognizing that being Black isn't a monolith, and neither is the Howard experience. Don't be afraid to ask the question, because asking is the only way to learn what you don't know.
