Rise HBCU isn’t just your typical collective. Adding the uniqueness of being black-owned (yeah, we’re blackity black over here) and formed by HBCU graduates (Eagle Pride Amplified) who are former athletes, we know how to connect with college athletes and our community. The black experience, specifically the HBCU experience, is like none other.

Rise HBCU is a place where we (yes, “we” because we’re family) can come together to support our HBCU student athletes with NIL opportunities but also connect with them and each other in an innovative, inspiring way. We are currently only assisting student athletes at NCCU, the alma mater of the founders. Whether you’re an NCCU alum or just a supporter of HBCUs, you are welcomed to join Rise HBCU in our efforts to help our student athletes with NIL and beyond.

This will be a space specifically for HBCU student athletes to learn, grow, and gain invaluable knowledge that will help them build their personal brands, leverage and take their status as HBCU student athletes to the next level, creating change while doing it.

This will not be just another conference. This is a learning environment designed to help everyone that attends move forward in a positive direction for their lives and anyone connected to them.
