 ⚜️ 🖤 My Personal Walk to Support HBCUs As a Xavier University Alumna ⚜️ 🖤

Hello, Star Players!  

I hope this newsletter finds you well. I’m sharing some personal news that feels especially relevant in these trying times for students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This past weekend, I proudly completed my first 5K since becoming a mom, participating in the Houston UNCF Walk for Education.

This was a proud moment for me for two reasons. The first was getting back out there and being physically active as part of my post-partum journey. The second, and more important, was standing in solidarity with HBCUs at a time when they are under attack. As Congressman Al Green stated in a recent press release, these are "racist, terroristic threats that are an attack on the dignity and future of young people who are simply pursuing an education. No student should be targeted for choosing to attend an HBCU." Although the FBI has described the threats as "hoax calls," they have nonetheless "instilled fear, disrupted education, and placed a heavy emotional burden on students, faculty, and families."

My experience at Xavier University of Louisiana, an HBCU, helped me live the truth of my affirmation, "I am strong, capable, and confident." It is on HBCU campuses that students not only get the education to do great things but are also nurtured by professors and staff who ensure they hold their heads high when they go out into a world that often tries to shrink them.

I hope you'll take a moment to look at the recap footage of my time at the UNCF walk and consider donating to their program if you’d like to see the continuation of the legacy of HBCUs.

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.

Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

No wonder 10K+ everyday people are taking the chance on Pacaso.

Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.
