Hello! My name is Nefsa’Hyatt Brown, a graduating senior at Alabama State University who has majored in political science and obtained a minor in international relations. I am from Mobile, Alabama, and my parents are Ms. Jenekia Thompson and Mr. Lewis Brown Jr.
I graduated from Baker High School in 2017 where I was a JEM Scholar which allowed me the opportunity to complete dual enrollment courses and ACT Preparatory, with an Honors Endorsement. In high school, I was extremely involved much like college. I was president of Future Business Leaders of America, I wrote for my school’s newspaper The Hornet Herald, and I was my school’s lead orator as I came in 4th place in impromptu speaking at the state FBLA conference.
After arriving at Alabama State University, I began writing for the newspaper as a freshman. Last year, I was named the editor-in-chief of The Hornet Tribune and I held on to that responsibility this year also. I am a Golden Ambassador, a member of UNITE, NAACP, College Democrats, the WEB DuBois Honors Program, and the student lead for a community service program titled Read and Reign.
I would have to say that my mom has had the greatest influence on my life, in fact, I have no idea where I would have been or what would have become of me without her. She is my light in a dark place, she is strong when I am weak, and through this journey, she is continuously building me up to be all of that I can be.
As I enter my third year on the staff and my second year as the editor-in-chief, I have always stressed the importance of expansion in terms of what I hope to accomplish as the editor. However, as time has gone on my focus has shifted to exposure through increasing our readership and ensuring that our content is something that is both informative and eye-catching to the audience.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Hello! My name is Christine Shelton, a junior at Alabama State University who has declared English as my major. I am from Chicago, Illinois and my parents are Ms. Jacquelyn Jackson and Mr. Christopher Shelton.
I graduated from Thornton Fractional North High School in Calumet City, Illinois where I was a member of the National Honor Society and vice president of my junior class. I was also selected as the Most Valuable Player of the badminton team my senior year.
I chose Alabama State University because I heard they had a spectacular teaching program as I aspire to be an English teacher. Since arriving at Alabama State University, I am active with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), NSLS, Student Alabama Education Association, Sigma Tau Delta, UNITE and the co-curriculum designer for a volunteer organization Read and Reign.
My parents and my grandmother have had the greatest influence on my life because they’re the reason I am the young woman I am today. They always kept me on the right track and kept me disciplined, and they’ve played a big role in why I’m so driven and goal-oriented in my studies. Another person who has had a great influence on my life is my high school Advanced Composition and African American Literature teacher, Mrs. Tiffany Stewart-Williams, as her class is the reason I chose to pursue a career in high school English education.

Hello, my name is Robert Tafara Mukuchura, a sophomore computer science and mathematics(minor) major from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Before arriving, I attended Mpopoma High School, where I participated in the Cricket Club and Robotics Team and earned the title of the highest scoring student in physics.
The son of Rittah Mukuchura and the late Robert Mukuchura, I selected Alabama State University because I decided to apply to a number of HBCUs and started exploring my options. Alabama State University appeared to be a vibrant campus and that was inviting and I was also grateful for the opportunity the school offered me.
I chose to work with the Hornet Tribune this year because I was looking towards getting more involved with school organizations. When I found out the newspaper was looking for members, I went for it. It is my first experience working with a newspaper and I challenging myself to try something new.
If a student wants to serve the school, I would recommend them to work at The Hornet Tribune. I believe it is one of the best ways to help the school. Th newspaper represents the school, and we can work together to improve it. It is a good opportunity to use your skills or build skills and helping the school at the same time.

Hello! My name is Anthoni Anna Wardlaw an undergraduate student studying at Alabama State University, majoring in psychology pre-med (specifically clinical psychology), aspiring to attend medical school to become a physician, specializing in the branches of psychiatry and possibly cardiothoracic surgery. I have maintained a 3.9 GPA (striving for a 4.0 of course) and I have been on the Dean’s List since my freshman year.
I am the recipient of the Incentive Academic Scholarship while also being a member of the Psychology Club since my first semester at ASU. This school year (2019-2020), I was accepted to participate in a program at ASU called TPaIDA (Tropical Pathology and Infectious Diseases Association). This program is a private educational organization that sends pre-med students to Peru to educate them in the basic science, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious tropical diseases. I am also certified in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel due to taking a dual-credit computer course at Stephen F. Austin High School during her senior year.
I have accomplished a number of hours in volunteer work. Some of that work includes managing a Back to School “Backpack” Drive for the NJB Foundation, helping facilitate a Teen Health Summit for Young Mothers titled Young Mothers Don’t Quit! (YMDQ), assisting my golf coach as a trainer with the younger golfers, and shadowing Dr. Gregory Shannon, MD in his Gastroenterology Clinic at Memorial Hermann located in Sugar Land, Texas.
I also volunteer with my mother on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve to feed the homeless (Super Feast) and with the City Wide Club at the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston, Texas, where thousands are served with not only traditional hot nutritious meals but also clothing, household items, shoes, blankets, coats, flu shots, medical examinations, food baskets, haircuts, new toys, etc.

Hello, my name is Obalolusa David Olaniran, a freshman computer science major from Ibadan, Nigeria. Before arriving, I attended Oritamefa Baptist Model School, Ring Road, Ibadan, Nigeria. where I participated in the Part of Top 20 Best Graduating Student and 3rd best student in Mathematics Olympiad at the local level.
The son of Abiodun Olaniran and Adeyinka Olaniran, I selected Alabama State University because of the reputed Computer Science department and because ASU has one of the best professors in Computer Science- Professor Xaolin Li. Also, ASU has a faculty to student ratio of 20:1 which makes them give students personal attention, knowledge and mentoring to enable them to achieve their dreams.
I chose to work with the Hornet Tribune this year because I saw it as an opportunity for me to work with the student media board because it has always been my dream to work with a well structured and united Organization, which is why I chose to work with the Hornet Tribune. Also, I want to improve my leadership skills. I believe working with the Hornet Tribune will sharpen my leadership skill and improve my problem-solving skills. This will go a long way in preparing me for my future career as a Computer scientist.
I would recommend another student to work at The Hornet Tribune because from my studies, working with the Hornet Tribune create a sense of Responsibility in students. It makes students to be disciplined and to be able to work on their own without being monitored. Students who work with the Hornet Tribune will have access to first-hand information, which a normal student of ASU might not know until after a very long period of time. Lastly, I would recommend another student to work with The Hornet Tribune because they see everyone as one family, there is unity, there is oneness and cooperation. I believe with these qualities we can achieve whatever we want to achieve with The Hornet Tribune.
