This or That...HBCU Edition | Gyrl Wonder | Alana I. Smith

Hey everyone! I recently graduated Howard University with a B.A. in Media, Journalism, and Film, a concentration in Television & Production, Minor in Business Administration, earning a Magna Cum Laude distinction. As I reflect these remarkable four years of college, I came across this funny "This or That HBCU Edition" video that I filmed in my dorm room (sophomore). This was a cool introduction I did for Gyrl Wonder Leadership Academy. Enjoy!
