This degree has opened up so many doors for me that would have stayed shut if I had not made the decision to return to college.

I understand the need for the psychological skillset and the importance of psychology in the Black community. I have been exposed to a lot of things, and I’d love to be able to sit down and talk to some of these players as they transition through life and help them navigate their own lives.
