<p>Until I began seriously researching schools, I had never heard of PWIs. As I develop my short list of colleges and universities, I’m finding that what scares me about HBCUs is that with the exception of schools like Morehouse or Spellman, Historically Black status is the only thing that defines them. The greatest thing I have to offer isn’t cocoa skin and I don’t want employers to have the chance to think PWI or HBCU when my resume is on their desk.</p>
