Meet Tasha Henderson: The Gem that is the Community College, the Importance of Our History, and the First Gen College Student

Published: Sept. 8, 2020, 4 a.m.

Main Points
1) Community College is a viable first option for our children. They are an inexpensive option for kids to take colleges and figure out if college is for them, discover and develop new skills, gain certifications that will have them working sooner. Don't discount them.
2) We have got to honor our ancestors and realize the work that they have done in order for us to be where we are.
3) The journey + struggle = jruggle!!! Both are worth the fight.
