Looks like Juror B37 and everyone who came for Rachel Jeantel can eat their words now. Who’s uneducated now?
Jeantel, a close friend of Trayvon Martin’s who was also the last to speak to him before he was murdered, has just been given the gift of all gifts.
A full scholarship to any Historically Black College or University (HBCU) she chooses.
And she has radio personality Tom Joyner to thank for that.
According to the Black America Web:
Tuesday morning on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, Joyner offered an olive branch to the embattled teen, offering her a possible full scholarship to any HBCU through the Tom Joyner Foundation.
Joyner proclaimed, “Hi Rachel, this is Tom Joyner, I love you, I really do love you”, Jeantel, shyly giggles before responding, “I know.”
But, Jeantel didn’t know how much she was loved because, Joyner was soon to dramatically change her life in a matter of minutes, saying, “If you want to graduate from high school, and go to an HBCU, even if it’s not in Florida but especially Florida, like Florida Memorial, Edward Waters or FAMU, if you want to do that, I want to help you do that.”
Joyner did not only offer his assistance in college, he wants to help her get there, adding, “I will help you get tutors to get you out of high school, tutors to help you pass the SAT and I will give you a full ride scholarship to any HBCU you’d like.”
Her reply? A shy “thank you.” Later in the interview, she hinted that she might want to pursue a career in law enforcement.
You see how God works? We’re extremely excited and happy for Jeantel and we wish her the best.
