Turning The Corner
Autism Awareness Month is more than recognition, it’s about understanding, inclusion, and equity. In our community, conversations around mental wellness and developmental differences are often silenced or misunderstood. It’s time to change that narrative. We honor individuals on the autism spectrum; their brilliance, their uniqueness, and their voices.
Let’s commit to: -Breaking stigma -Creating safe spaces -Advocating for proper diagnosis & support -Embracing neurodiversity within our culture Because awareness without action isn’t enough. #BlackMentalWellness #AutismAwarenessMonth #NeurodiversityMatters #EndTheStigma #MentalHealthAwareness #StayTuned

NC Central wins HBCU quiz-bowl championship
The all-women team defeated Hampton University, the defending champions, at the Honda Campus All-Star Challenge, a national competition for historically Black universities.
An all-women team from North Carolina Central won the school’s first-ever national championship at the Honda Campus All-Star Challenge. The team defeated defending champion Hampton University in a best-of-three finale in a tournament held April 11-14 in Torrance, California. The quiz-bowl-style tournament features 64 teams from historically Black colleges competing for more than $100,000 in institutional grants. Never before had an all-women team represented Central, which reached the finals in 2006 and 2009. Since the competition was founded in 1989, more than 125,000 HBCU students have competed, answering questions across a range of topics, from history and science to geography and culinary arts.
In other HBCU news:
