Actress Taylor Polidore Williams on how Clark Atlanta University gave her a voice, and what it takes to become the person you needed when you were young. Hosts Sandy Pierre and Kathleen Newman-Bremang sit down with the Beauty in Black and Reasonable Doubt star to talk about her time at CAU, the ambition she doesn’t regret, and the mentors and family who got her here. “The experience of going to an HBCU is like no other, just because I think it’s one of the only places in the world literally where your race isn’t a factor.” They get into fighting for internships, working their way up, and realizing you’re no longer the babygirl in the room. Taylor also shares what she’s building now through the Shelter Rock Foundation, including a new housing scholarship for three media arts students at Clark Atlanta. Created in partnership with Target.
