75
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: love snow people, but I can't ski though. I just

76
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: love snow. I just loved the picturesque and the look

77
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,160

78
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,479

79
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,600

Speaker 1: my food by nine. I I love it. I love it.

85
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: So let's talk about this program HBCU Impact, because I

86
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, when I was in college. I remember, I'm

87
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: from Houston, Texas, and I went there down to Louisiana

88
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: and I met with this company and they had they

89
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: kind of had a program like this, you know, and

90
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: when they were trying to get diversity, they were trying

91
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 1: to bring in more people of color into the company.

92
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: And I worked off shore. I worked eighty five miles

93
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: out in the Gulf. I would do that for two

94
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: weeks or two weeks off and I was doing engineering work. Now,

95
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: this program here is in at tied to the University

96
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: of you talk. Can you tell us a little bit

97
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: about the University of you talk before we get started.

98
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So University Ties is located right on the

99
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: hill in Salt Lake City. It's an R one institution

100
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: and it's just slowly growing to this great economic development

101
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: and this is a unique partnership with an R one

102
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: institution reaching out these HBCUs and developing these partnerships. Now

103
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: when you now you you are a person who was

104
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: a part of this program. You participated two years before,

105
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: so you're not a person just over the program, the

106
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: program manager. You are a person who was I guess

107
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: benefited in the program. Correct. Yeah, So I went through

108
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: the program twice and then at the end of my

109
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: second term, Day offered me the job to manage the program.

110
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: So I've been doing that since twenty twenty one. Okay,

111
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: so how did you how did they how did you

112
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: find out about the program? So in twenty twenty one,

113
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: this is when the program was starting, and I had

114
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: an internship class that I had to take and Thorough Site,

115
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: which was one of the first companies to come participate

116
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: in the program. They ran my class and you were

117
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: talking about this new opportunity. It's like, Yeah, the University

118
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: of Utah is trying to get more diversity out here.

119
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: We are going to pay for your flights, we're gonna

120
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: pay for your housing, we'll pay you a salary, And

121
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: I like, this sounds amazing. Why would I not want

122
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: to take this opportunity to try something new and expand

123
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: my horizons. Even if I just find out that I

124
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: hated Utah, at least I get to check, you know,

125
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: another state off my list. So I was very excited

126
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: to try this out. And then the pandemic happened and

127
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: I didn't even get to go to Utah twenty yes,

128
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: and then in twenty twenty one they opened it back up.

129
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,239
Speaker 1: I still was able to get tue my internship virtually,

130
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: but in twenty twenty one was the first year that

131
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: we're able to go out there. So my cohort the

132
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: sixteen of US and now sixteen sixteen from the one

133
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: HBCU or attendant of various HBCUs around the country. In

134
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, there was only one HPCU involved, which

135
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: was Howard University. But since then we've expanded to work

136
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: with other HBCUs like Morgan State, uh Morehouse, Tuskegee, FAMU,

137
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: North Carolina, ant So we're gradually expanding, but that first

138
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: two years were only Howard student. Okay. Yeah, so basically

139
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: you were kind of like the ambassadors to the brain

140
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: to see if the program worked, the value of the program,

141
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: so you set you set the tone for the success

142
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: of the program. Correct, Yes, And you know, even though

143
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: it was new, I still had obviously had a great

144
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: impact on me where I thought, how can I get

145
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: other students to get involved with this, because be kind

146
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: of scary to want to go to Utah. I have

147
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: no family out here. I just with the U talk

Speaker 1: go and kill the stereotypes. Now black people, black black people.

156
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta wonder where the black people at

157
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City, Utah. Okay. And so so I

158
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: know I saw you your Bachelors of Art and Strategic

159
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: Legal and management communication. Okay, so what did the world

160
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: adventure adventure you know, come up into this into your background?

161
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: Who did you talk to? You talk to your parents,

162
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,239
Speaker 1: you talk to your classmates? Did you talk to anybody?

163
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: They went, girl, have you lost your mind? Why are

164
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: you going there? Because I gotta get that side of

165
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: the story because you usually leaning all that. I leading

166
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: all this little extra stuff out. Talk about that that

167
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: before you got on the plane to go to Salt Lake.

168
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: Say that Utah for the first time. Yes, that wasn't experienced. Everybody,

169
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: They're like, small, why are you going to Utah? Western Utah?

170
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know. People are trying to

171
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: tell me different. I didn't research anything about it. I

172
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: wanted to be completely surprised. I didn't want to have

173
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: any biases against it, and I just wanted to just

174
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: soak in the whole experience to see what I can

175
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: get out of Utah and what it would teach me

176
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: about myself. And so I just I thought, I was like, yeah,

177
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to us out there, like what so again,

178
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just go there for the summer. My move

179
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: there like that is crazy. But every since then, I've

180
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: had family who would come out here and my cousin,

181
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: my dad, my mom, like, wow, Utah such an amazing place,

182
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: a hidden gem that you wouldn't have been thought of.

183
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: The quality of life that you have here U people

184
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: is always the first thing I get asked about where

185
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: we have so soon Where are the black people and

186
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: so like, said to Utah, they are everywhere. We have

187
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: them in Agsen, Late and just around. It's not in

188
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: a dense community, but they're kind of spread out around Utah.

189
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: But it's once to me one person, you get to

190
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: meet everybody in the community. It's a very tight knit community.

191
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: So there's a group chat that we have. And when

192
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: I first came here about a year and a half ago,

193
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: there were four hundred people in there. Now there's six

194
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: hundred people in there. So it's just continues to grow.

195
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: They're always have their different hands in the community, like oh,

196
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: wants to go to the movies, Oh, we have this

197
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: panel going on, We're gonna have this party, to the

198
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: hostess off together, their June teams here, all the festivities

199
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: that are happy involved. As a legislators said to Utah, alright, alright,

200
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: that yes, you guys, not what you think it is. Okay, okay, now,

201
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: but there are two Utahs. There is a summer Utah

202
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: and then there's a winter Utah. Okay, see see the

203
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: beauty of you. You were just doing internships, doing the summer,

204
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: doing the summer. Did I tell you, hey, did you

205
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: want to start working here? Now? Had you experienced the

206
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: winter Utah at that point? No? I have not. When

207
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: I was about to move, I love I love the mountains.

208
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: I can have this the beautiful view. And then I

209
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, it never rains here, and I

210
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: was like, great, it rained the first two weeks I

211
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: was there. After I moved there, I said, now, why

212
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: did y'a lave seeing you like that? Um? Better? Why

213
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: show wiper blaze? But this last year wasn't as um

214
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: It is snow as much in this year. It has

215
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: been snowing every single day. I think he just snowed

216
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: this morning. Actually now the sun's out, so uh, that's definitely.

217
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: But there's no humidity here, so that makes it different

218
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: from the East coast. Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely chilling. I think

219
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: it's a bit more variable. Yeah, absolutely. I'm talking to

220
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: the program manager at the University of Utah's HPCU Impact Program.

221
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: This program allows students during the summer where their companies

222
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: will pay for the students flights, houses and salary over

223
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: the summer and return the University of Utah will provide

224
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: access to HBCUs students. That's that's what you're doing. They're

225
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: trying to get students to come there, lived there, and

226
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: possibly work there to create a more diverse and much

227
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: more I guess you know you learned by people you meet.

228
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: You in stereotypes, stereotypes, and even in this interview, we're

229
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: laughing a lot, but we also end in stereotypes. Interviewing

230
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: some own lawrencies. The program manager for the HPCU Impact Program.

231
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: At the top of the show, I gave out some

232
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: information about the success what I call Black excellence at HBCUs.

233
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give it out again, just in case

234
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: you weren't there at the top of the show. Eight

235
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: percent of the black judges in America graduate from HBCUs,

236
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the black doctors graduate from HBCUs, cent

237
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: of the black lawyers graduate from HBCUs, forty percent of

238
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: the black engineers graduate from HBCUs, forty percent of the

239
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: black members of Congress graduate from HBCUs, fifty percent of

240
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: the black public school teachers graduate from HBCUs, twenty five

241
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: percent of the black stem professionals graduated from HBCUs, seventy

242
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: five percent of the black veterinarians graduated from HBCUs, seventy

243
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: percent of the Black dentists graduate from HBCUs. Reasons, I

244
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: say that with your program, HBCU impact, HBCUs deliver, and

245
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: they deliver academic success. So this program that they've set

246
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: up at the University of Utah really is vis basically

247
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: inviting the best of the best academically into the city

248
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: of the state of Utah in Salt Lake City. Correct, Yes,

249
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: you're such a great talker, and they need you go yes. Yes,

250
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: usually like followed up with the robust tones of encouragement.

251
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: And this is what I got out of this is

252
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: very close to your Angela Davis moment I gave you

253
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: and you just said yes. But that's all right, that's

254
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: all right now, I digress. The program started in twenty twenty.

255
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: You've been a product of the program. Now, the program

256
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: this is unique because as far as a PWI, which

257
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: is a predominant white institution, this is one of the

258
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: first that's ever been created for HBCUs. Correct, Yes, this

259
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: is correct. On campus, we're working out reaching out to

260
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: different our two institutions, and hopefully we can develop faculty

261
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: exchanges as well, so not only focusing our students, and

262
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: we offer fifty percent off grad school if the students

263
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: participate in this program and then come back at the

264
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: U for any graduate degree. So it's very impactful and

265
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: just something new that I don't think we see a

266
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: lot of this at these higher education institutes. Well, you know,

267
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: it's unique because of the fact that we all know

268
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: that if you don't know that the predominant amount it's

269
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: like one hundred and seven HBCUs, The predominant amount of

270
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: HBCUs are located in the southeastern part of the country.

271
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: And that's not by accident because of discriminatory practices not

272
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: allowed blacks higher education in eighteen sixty five. Basically when

273
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: HBCUs were founded, they were founding based as a trade school,

274
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: based on trade school, and then all of a sudden

275
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: it led or then you had W. B. Du Bois,

276
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: and then you had BOOKTI Washington. BOOKATI Washington emphasized trade

277
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: school training. W E. B. Du Bois emphasized academic He

278
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: wanted doctors. He wanted lawyers, you wanted engineers. And so

279
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: that's really how HBCUs, the core, the HBCUs drive that

280
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: we see today, came out of that. Then if we

281
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: all know the background of a Bookati Washington was Tuskegee University.

282
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: Now when you talk about it, so when you talk

283
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: about this program, that's what makes it even more unique

284
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: because you know, Utah is Utah, it's not near an HBCU,

285
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: it's in the part of the company country that is

286
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: predominantly white. But also so I wouldn't see this program

287
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: being tied to I wouldn't see like the University of

288
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: Alabama or the University of Georgia doing this because HBCUs

289
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: are right around the corner from there. But it's but

290
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: it's a blessing to me that the University of Utah

291
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: sees value in this type of HBCU partnership because it

292
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: gives not only a new experience for you, but you

293
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: get to share a part of life that I wouldn't

294
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: ever have known about it. When I found out about

295
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: this opportunity, I immediately wanted you to my show to

296
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: talk about it. Continue Wow, thank you. So yes, this

297
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: is such a unique program for the Salt Lake Citio

298
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: if people don't know about it based like number two

299
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: fashion and throwing city for business and the number one

300
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: for financial institutions. So bringing having me see that step

301
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: out of their comfort zone say oh, you know, I

302
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: want to work at Google, I want to work at Apple.

303
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: But there's just so many other career paths and like

304
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: tech companies, financial banking companies, or even just healthcare companies

305
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City that you wouldn't think about. We

306
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: have an area called Silicon Slops, which is just kind

307
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: of trying to replicate Silicon Valley in California, where we

308
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: have all these tech cups, like Adobe is located here.

309
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: We's and something you wouldn't thin about because you're like,

310
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: oh it's Utah. There's nothing out here for me. But

311
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: just having access to that and being able to know, oh,

312
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: I can go here. A lot of students don't think

313
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: that they can do something because they don't see themselves,

314
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: they don't see people like them in those situations. They're like, oh,

315
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go to Utah because I don't see my

316
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: health here. But once you find out what the type

317
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: of opportunities that they have, I think it's just a

318
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: great opportunity for them come out here. And why wouldn't

319
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: you want to go where internships offer you free flights,

320
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: paying for your housing, You get to go on fun

321
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: activities I take in the southern Utah, get your head shots,

322
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: work on networking skills in this type community where usually

323
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: students are out here and you get an internship in

324
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: another state and you have to find housing, or you

325
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: have to pay for other things, or you have to

326
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: figure out what to do on the weekends. But I

327
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: create all that curriculum and I'm sitting here with these

328
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: students like, hey, I understand where you're coming from. You know,

329
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: I went to an HBCU, I went through this program,

330
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: and now I live in Salt Lake City. So anything

331
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: you need help navigating, I can be that for you.

332
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: Give the list of black Pages. Here's the barber shops,

333
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: here's the nail shop, here's some good food places to eat.

334
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: As you mentioned earlier, you know we have those hidden gyms,

335
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: but you need to reach out to that community and

336
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: have them engaged so that they're able to see what

337
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: resources are out there for them. Awesome. Here's the thing

338
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: about it. When I when I listened to you talk

339
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: or you know, the reason you're on my show today

340
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: money Making Conversation Magic Class, because people don't know it's

341
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: about promoting, it's about getting the word out about Yeah,

342
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: because I always tell my story about working off shore

343
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: and people look at me. Really, how did you find

344
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: that out? I just happen to walk into you know,

345
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: career training at the University of Houston, and h happen

346
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: to see it on board on the board, and I

347
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: called a number and I had to go to like

348
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: three different interviews in the state of Louisiana. And while

349
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: I was eighty five miles out of the Gulf with

350
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: a story that I would also you know, the beauty

351
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: of even if you didn't work there and you came back,

352
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: but the experience that you have of being in Salt

353
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: Lake City turn into sold Like city would have been

354
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: the ultimate blessing anyway. Correct, Oh, yes, definitely, just because

355
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: when you expand your horizons to go out to different

356
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: places where you don't see people like you and get

357
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: out your comfort zone, it allows you to broaden your

358
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: conversation topics. It allows you to speak with people that

359
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: you wouldn't necessarily think you have any being in common

360
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: with but now you have this unique experience if you

361
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: want to know, oh, how did you get here? What

362
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,480

Speaker 1: know what can I do for you? Or and how

365
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: can you help me? So I think something very impactful

366
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: about that. Now, now I've read a lot bio. Say

367
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 1: the bio, not the little bio, the bio. Now you

00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: have a CU alarm. Yes, So Rodnie Cohen, we started

369
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: this program in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one. Realize there

370
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: are other HBCU programs on campus. They're about seven other

371
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: programs that work with students as well, like past make

372
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:01,920

Speaker 1: as well on campus back heater to HBCUs students. And

374
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: we needed somebody to help manage all the decent programs.

375
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: So Rodney Cohen has joined us and he has been

376
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: instrumental to engaging with all of these different universities and

377
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: developing out more of these partnerships. Now you had the

378
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: NBA All Star Game was there and recently and I

379
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: know they do a lot. I think they're doing an

380
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: HBCU game there at every HBCU an NBA All Star event.

381
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,680

382
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: for HBCUs and promoting the value of HBCUs. I think

383
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: he recently got his degree from an HBCU. That's Chris Paul,

384
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: NBA All Star, future Hall of Fame, future Hall of

385
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: Famer who now plays for the Phoenix Suns. Did you

386
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: guys benefit from any exposure of the NBA All Star

00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: Weekend when it was hosted in Saltleax City the HPCU impact. Yes,

388
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,120

00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: We hosted the HBCU Classic versus Southern and Grambling and

390
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: also hosted the g League game. And the university a

391
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: couple weeks before that came to us and say, we

392
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: heard about your program, how can you help support you

393
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: and help build up these black communities, And they give

394
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: us a gift U fifty thousand dollars, which has been

395
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: exciting news for here to hear that the NBA, since

396
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: one of our partners is used high jazz and they

397
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: have this to spread out in the community where it

398
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: reaches up to those levels where like we see what

399
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: you're doing we support these students in this community. How

400
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,800

401
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: You say you received a gift from fifty thousand dollars

402
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: donation to the HBCU Impact Program at the University of Utah.

403
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: What does one do with fifty thousand dollars donation? What

404
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: do you do? How does that benefit your program? So

405
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: we were true during the school year, we go to

406
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: these hbcs on campus and say maybe you want these galleries,

407
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: resumes or help start travel, help for the professor development

408
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: workshops that we try to pay for welcome packages that

409
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: we have with the students, and I host a number

410
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: of community events to get the black community introduced to

411
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: the students so that they can develop these or any

412
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: meatorships relationships, and so it just helps fund having these

413
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: farewell welcome events to take them out to MoIB to

414
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: experience the different what suga Utah is like, which is

415
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: more red rocks, which you would think Salt Lake is like.

416
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: Food just goes towards that development. And we actually shared

417
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,520
