Homecoming season is upon us. Alumni, young and old, will descend upon their old stomping grounds to relive their glory days among longtime friends. Homecomings are just as sweet as a family reunion. The blacker the yard, the sweeter the experience! No shade to other schools, but HBCU homecomings just hit differently. PERIOD! The step show, parade, parties, concerts, football rivalry, dueling bands, and glorious nostalgia is like no other. Being among kinfolk at your alma mater with deep historical and cultural roots is an indescribable experience. Homecoming week is Black excellence at its finest. This celebration of higher learning and academic achievement is lowkey the Blackest fashion event of the year. How will you show up?
You see your old flame from undergrad. What's your first move?
Tailgate starts at 9 a.m. What time are you showing up?
It's time to make a brief appearance at a day party. Which song best represents your grand entrance?
The best part of the homecoming game is:
Think fast! Your stylist cancels your hair appointment 24 HOURS before homecoming festivities are slated to begin. What do you do?
You're in charge of booking accommodations for your friend group during homecoming weekend. How far in advance do you plan?
Homecoming lands on the big rival game this year. What look are you going for?
Time for the big alumni afterparty. What kind of fit will you most likely wear?
The girls want to catch up for a weekend ki-ki session on Sunday before everyone heads home. What are you ordering at brunch?
