Nyra R. Shaw-H

"It's REALLY an experience...it's nothing like being around like-minded people; I never feel out of place or anything. The teachers are really there for you and want you to succeed. They provide so many opportunities and guidance that your pathway is paved right in front of you, and the school spirit is crazzzzy, well at least at Tuskegee! I would definitely recommend an HBCU!"

The Movement

The result of Nyra's passing started a movement to #LIVELIKENYRA or #LOVELIKENYRA.

This tarted the scholarship and mentorship for young adults to have the opportunity to live out their dreams of an HBCU experience and live their best life too.
