The BN Black In Entertainment Panel was a huge success! 🎥💬

Hosted by the Beta Nu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha and EICOP Student Ambassador Zachary Bell at FAMU. We were inspired by Bria Dickerson, a 2020 & 2021 EICOP alum from Hampton University, and Kayla Parker, a 2018 & 2019 EICOP alum from FAMU.
