In many parts of the world, having a ‘college degree’ is a prized possession. According to the latest data, this year about 4 million students are expected to graduate from colleges in the U.S. 

Does preparation to get into college effect how well they will do while IN college? A question we hope to answer as we dive into the basics of preparing for college. The entire college enrollment process can be grueling and overwhelming. From completing essays on the college application, to having access to your transcript, meeting deadlines, college tours, and we haven’t even gotten to the money yet and even more importantly the grades.

Today, I talk with a group of education experts on what it takes to get to college and the best tools to navigate the journey.

From Essays To Finding  Funds, Your Basic Roadmap To College

If you’re of a certain age, you’ve probably experienced that uncle or aunt or elderly person in your family who refuses to go to the doctor – for anything! Especially if you’re of the African American community or any person of color, it’s even more of a challenge when it comes to seeking adequate health care and ‘getting’ adequate health care if you’re a person of color.

The facts are the facts. Research shows the #1 reason Black Americans have worse health outcomes than other people, is the lack of access to high-quality medical care. 

There is an organization in Charlotte, combating the health care inequities for Black people. QC Health provides comprehensive healthcare to underserved communities. They are a black-led organization that’s been around for the past 18 years providing services such as primary care and preventative services. QC Health believes everyone deserves high-quality medical care.
