📣 Save the Date! Virginia State University Athletics in partnership with @VSUAAonline proudly hosts Saint Paul’s College Day 🗓️ December 13, 2025 📍 Multipurpose Center More details coming soon — mark your calendars!
There are only 8 Black women who are NCAA Division II Athletic Directors and at least 4 of us are Deltas (me, @DrKKelly-ASU, Etienne-WSSU and Ivana-EWU). 🔺
Would love to know what percentage of women athletics administrators at HBCUs are Deltas? Has to be like 35-40 percent.

I have a theory that @clipse’s lexical precision, historical depth & cultural references are in part, a byproduct of VA’s Standards of Learning, a program introduced in the early ’90s that later informed No Child Left Behind. Their lyricism reflects a mastery of that curriculum.
I feel like the reason why The Clipse album has been doing so well is because we’ve been lacking so much LITERACY in Hip-Hop. Look at the way we are dissecting bars + being wowed by the art of elevated storytelling. Pusha T and Malice are brilliant on so many levels. We all won.
I forgot to add @Tiffani_Sykes came home
It seems like since @MichaelVick came to @NorfolkStateFB, it’s been up in Virginia.
Caring, authentic mentors are top tier. Can be the major catalyst to the glass shattering. 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you! And thanks for sharing this picture!
Nice & you’re a good PA announcer (alright freshman year @VSU_1882 lol) & you also did an outstanding job at the 2019 @Meac
Additionally, under her leadership as the Associate Commissioner of the CIAA, I became the first woman to serve as the public address announcer for the CIAA Basketball Tournament and also, the sideline announcer for the CIAA Football Championship Game. #KickingGlass
One of the best things about being home has been the surprise visits to my office. Today it was @SmithMoniqueaj, who was my first mentor in college athletics and got me (forced me to take 😂) my first full-time job at Saint Paul’s College as the sports information director.

This is very cool! UTSA student-athletes who are first-generation college students will wear special patches on their uniforms recognizing their accomplishment of being the first in their family to attend college. goutsa.com/news/2025/07/1…

I ran out of characters. That was going to be the next sentence, I promise. 😂
Don’t forget both fortunate enough to work with me 🤣
Always good to catch up with my friend, @ADHendersonSr. Both of us are fortunate to lead athletic departments of HBCUs in Virginia (@VSUsports & @HUAthletics1868), and even more grateful to do it at our alma maters where we were once student-athletes. #NCAALearnLead #VA

Proud mentor moment! Grateful to celebrate two of my former GAs from @Grambling1901: Alexis, now Deputy AD at Ferrum, as she begins her journey at the Dr. Charles Whitcomb Leadership Institute, and @Jdub7__, now Assistant AD at Texas A&M, who completed the program today. #Impact
