Veritas et Utilitas, “Truth and Service” is the motto for Howard University and represents a vital component of the school’s identity. I have a special affinity for educational initiatives, particularly those that drive young minority women to CREATE. Service is a lifelong commitment and over the years, I volunteered hundreds of hours at various community-based and 501(c)(3) organizations. While Howard University Day of Service (HUDOS) draws mostly undergraduate students, I was intrigued and sought a way to get involved. I am pleased to announce I was selected for the Steering Committee and serve as the Photographer / Videographer on the Media Team.

To me, HUDOS provides a phenomenal way for students to become immersed in both the university and the community-at-large. I am thrilled about having the opportunity to create visuals displaying Howard students as they come together, working hard to make a difference. Check out one of my promo edits created using supplied photos and footage curated from HUDOS over the last two years, along with graphics I created to accompany student quotes on the service experience.
