Hey fam 🖤. We were created back in 2016 from the minds of young black college grads who attended a PWI who wanted to do things better for black collegians who attend PWI’s.

Since 2016 we have been working to do just that.

This pandemic has reminded us to asses our resources and asses what do black collegians need?

During this multi pandemic era, black collegians had to defend their livelihood while so many things desperately wanted them to be muted.

We know the struggles and we know we have work to do. We will be taking some time to ground and reset for these coming years!

In the meantime, please help us by donating to our go fund me

Behind every successful Black woman, there is a tribe of successful Black women who have her back. And remember the world didn’t move until a Black woman said so. So shake the room or the whole building if need be.

In the second installation of the Black Women's Corner, the Underepp'd is asking female-identifying upperclassmen and alumni of PWIs to submit advice that they'd wished they'd gotten upon starting college. Think of it as what you would have told your younger self! Submissions can range in content fr...
