As proud HBCU alumni, Soror Worrell and her husband founded The HBCU Nation to promote HBCU Excellence, Innovation, and Sustainability — building capacity for our nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Rather than waiting for an invitation, they created the table: launching the HBCU Nation Radio Show, HBCUiRadio, and HBCU Smart TV as platforms that amplify HBCU voices, stories, and achievements on a national stage.
HBCU Smart TV is available on ROKU and Amazon Fire TV.
