  • What are you studying in school?Graphic Design
  • Where did you grow up? Elizabeth City, North Carolina
  • Why are you passionate about graphic design? "All of my life, I have been a artistic person. I love and have so much appreciation for the arts. Graphic Design is fun and it allows me to channel my inner creative"
  • What the inspiration behind the design? My design was inspired by the 90s sitcom ‘Martin’. Martin was an essential part of my youth. Growing up, as a kid, all of my family would gather at my grandmothers house and we would watch Martin during those gatherings. It was always something that brought my family together and made us laugh. As I was creating my design, I was listening to Afrobeats, which inspired me to incorporate the African tribal print that is seen in the background.

Halftime Performance: Divine 9 Strolling Showcase

The Milwaukee Bucks are honored to bring both undergraduate and graduate members of the Divine Nine from across Wisconsin to celebrate and fellowship, including a Halftime Strolling Showcase!

Frequently performed by Greek Life organizations, strolling is a unique and organized dance that’s specific to each organization and represents power & unification in a rhythmic fashion.

A part of HBCUs history is the National Pan-Hellenic Council, which is a council of nine international historically black Greek letter sororities and fraternities, also known as the Divine Nine.
