		<description>Yeah, they are a great bunch of women and I know I&#039;m blessed to have them in my life.  

A big AUC shout-out to all my AUC sisters.

I know how you ladies feel who didn&#039;t go to HBCU.  I was in a Dual Degree Program so I spent three undergrad years at Spelman and two at Georgia Tech.  I really do think Dual Degree students fared better at Tech than minority students who began at Tech.  I still remember some of the horror stories they told. 

Many, if not most, of my HBCU peers came from schools where they were in the minority and then went on to do graduate work at majority institutions.  Spelman was the perfect &quot;middle passage&quot; for them.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s so great. I don&#039;t really have any girl friends like that. I guess either I&#039;m not a good friend or I haven&#039;t found the right person to be friends with.

But on a more positive note, i received your book today, and I can&#039;t wait to snuggle up with it.</description>

		<description>My story is more like Rosalind&#039;s.  How wonderful that you have such lifelong friendships.

Don&#039;t hate on Kung Fun Panda.  You&#039;re probably a bit nauseous because of all the marketing that was done, which was decidedly over the top.  But give it a try.  It&#039;s actually a very good movie with a nice message.  Maybe not quite as good as The Lion King or Toy Story but I&#039;d put it up there with those.</description>

		<description>Hi Angela,

What a great tradition.  My family just got back from our family reunion in Tennessee (no one in the family is from there - we justed wanted to go someplace different).  It was beautiful!  Hopefully next year you will be able to make it!

I didn&#039;t go to a HBCU so I didn&#039;t form any bounds with my Engineering classmates, as I was the only female in most of my classes!  I think you are very fortunate to have had such an opportunity!

		<description>Angela,

Aren&#039;t good girlfriends great?! Sounds like you have true blue buddies, praise the Lord.

I&#039;m also an AUC grad and the sistafriends that I met at Clark Atlanta are the best! We try to get together as often as we can, support each other in our aspirations and keep each other lifted up in prayer. They also hold me accountable in my writing endeavours and that is a blessing.</description>
