October Cheyney Challenge

A Q&A with the 51st Miss Cheyney University followed her coronation earlier this month. Eventually, Tamiah Morrison, the titleholder, revealed that she was losing one of her major senses -- an ultimate result that she was forewarned of growing up.

I didn't expect the bitter-sweet revelation. In May, I nodded my head in support of her impending reign for 2023-2024. At that time, CU shared on Facebook Morrison's statement as Miss Cheyney elect. 

"My [platform] A.V.E.N.G.E.R.S stands for Assertive, Visionary, Encouraging, Noble, Genuine, Ethical Revolutionary and Strong," She later continues, "We... encourage students to join organizations... form their own platform to engage one another and formulate lifelong connections.... That is why my slogan is “Be Your Own Hero” I would like to motivate my peers to not only step out their comfort zones but to TRY NEW THINGS, PUSH TO BE THE BEST THEM... and BEAT THE ODDS society has put against them...." (Emphasis mine.)

The Cheyney Challenge is an initiative of alumnus Mr. Bright. I committed to it on WURD's Radio Courtroom in 2015, and began donating the following year. ​
