Suzie Q

We all need someone to take us under their wing and help guide us in unfamiliar and intimidating environments. This was my someone when I was a freshman at #SpelmanCollege - Suzette Irving. Spelman use to pair incoming freshman students with juniors as Big Sisters/Little Sisters. It was so helpful because, for most of us, it was the first time we were on our own and, truth be told, I was a little scared. 😬 I was paired with a junior, (Julie C. 🥰) and she was very cool. Then, I also met Suzette. She was a senior - so sweet, smart, beautiful, popular and instantly loved me. “Suzie Q” as we called her, declared herself my Big Sister. ☺️ She always had my back - always there for advice about studies, boys, being on my own for the first time. And we are still friends to this day. I was so happy to see her at the #AlphaPhiAlpha #AlphaRho #MorehouseCollege Gala this weekend! Love you, Susie Q! 💙
