Angel Reese had been very active on social causes and events, showing her way to give back to the community even after reaching superstardom early in her career. The player never shies away from the opportunity to show her ‘care’; she recently attended HBCUFest at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
While the star showed her kind nature by giving a high five to a band member while attending the HBCUFest, she won over many fans with her speech at the event.
Angle Reese Aiming To Play For Howard And Be HBCU Alum
During her LSU Days, Reese mentioned that she would love to represent the HBCU while the program played in Coppin & Morgan State back in 2022. Although she didn’t get a chance for 2-3 years, in 2026, she was the keynote speaker at the event.
In the HBCUFest, she said, “I am supporting Howard today at my HBCU event because, why not? I always wanted to go to Howard because… I always actually wanted to go to HBCU. But I also wanted to play in Power 5. So, tough decisions. But in my second life, I will be a HBCU alum, and I will be a Howard alum because I just know I want to go to Howard. It’s close to home. I’m from Maryland, so it’s close. “
