Surviving and Thriving: My HBCU Dreams, PWI Reality

What happens when you grow up dreaming of marching bands, Black Greek life, and vibrant HBCU culture—only to find yourself navigating college life at a predominantly white institution?

In this powerful and personal e-book, Anthony Reeves shares his journey as a Black Gen Xer who entered college during the rise of A Different World and School Daze, only to experience a very different reality. From cultural isolation and coded microaggressions to creating new traditions and defining his own campus culture, this story captures the challenges—and victories—of building belonging where none was given.

🖤 A must-read for anyone who’s ever had to carve out their own space.

📘 Perfect for students, educators, HBCU advocates, and culture lovers.
