As a resident, I was so intrigued to know a local chapter existed in DeKalb County that on 12/28/2015, I headed to the ATL Airport and was introduced to members of the chapter as we congratulated our band in true RAMily fashion (posters, cheers, laughter, and connections.)
When the band returned on January 2, 2016, I was introduced and interviewed by President Boynton who was so gracious despite being jetlagged. Past Membership Chair Debra Lemons recruited me to join and I attended my 1st meeting January 9, 2016 at the S&S Cafeteria in Tucker which also reconnected me to LaJohnda Johnson, our current ASU DeKalb Secretary who I knew from my time at ASU (2006-2008) as well as other RAMily. From there I tagged team with the social media presence via IG alongside past Marketing & Social Media Chair Khadijah Nurridin (2016-2021), volunteering as Chapter Reporter in 2019 for a few months and officially serving later as Chapter Reporter (2019-2021) under the leadership of Past President Pam McMichael and past VP Maria Boynton. My service during the COVID pandemic was tough with majority virtual meetings and limited connections to alumni, family, and hometown but I got through it and my connections and commitments were strengthened and refined.
Today and many memories later (2025-2027), I've reprised my role and service as Chapter Reporter under the leadership of President Naeem Roberts & VP Shayla Davis alongside fellow officers as we collectively bring our time, talent, treasures, and ties as #BIGDeKalb, "Building, Influencing, and Giving" to students, alumni, stakeholders, and community of the 'Unsinkable' and 'Indestructible' Albany State University. Cheers to a 10 year connection to True Blue community and Golden service!! šš·️š«š«š¤
