HAMPTON<\/strong>\u2014 Kyndall Hawkins, a student at Hampton University, balances her studies with her hair business. She serves three to four clients weekly and operates out of her dorm lobby in Winona Hall, where she has created a space for clients.<\/p>

But right before Homecoming, as she prepared for a client, her dorm director, Iris-Goode Middleton, received sudden news: dorm visitation was immediately banned, and she could no longer conduct her business there.<\/p>

\u201cYou can use the laundry room,\u201d Middleton told her, Hawkins said, offering the small room with 4 machines, but Hawkins had to cancel with her client at the last minute. It was one of many shifting university dorm policies that cut into her earnings for the season.<\/p>

Student entrepreneurs face many challenges at the university, not limited to the strict and often-changing dorm policies. Hair businesses were recently banned in the Student Center.<\/p>

The newly appointed director of the Office of Residence Life and Housing, Latasha Pender, is reviewing these current policies, leaning toward reforming them in favor of student needs.<\/p>

\u201cWhen I need answers, I refer to this,\u201d Pender said, showing the formal policy book she follows with the guidelines she must follow per university administration.<\/p>

Pender said that she\u2019s aware that schedule changes hurt business.<\/p>

While she sympathizes with students, Pender is clear about her role.<\/p>

\u201cI want students to know I\u2019m not a dictator,\u201d said Pender. \u201cAs a supervisor, I\u2019m just a messenger. They can come give me feedback or talk to me about it, and I\u2019ll take it to the higher-ups.\u201d<\/p>

For students like Hawkins, change can\u2019t come soon enough.<\/p>

\u201cWe are trying to help our HBCU community and support ourselves, so why wouldn\u2019t the administration support that?\u201d Hawkins said. \u201cI\u2019ve lost clients because of these changes.\u201d<\/p>

Some businesses, like Hawkins\u2019 hairstyling, can adapt to semi-public spaces. But for students like Imani Simpson, who runs a waxing business from her dorm room, privacy is non-negotiable.<\/p>

\u201cI can only do it in my room,\u201d said Simpson<\/p>

For student entrepreneurs, Hampton\u2019s visitation policies represent more than an inconvenience; they are a barrier to economic independence and personal growth.<\/p>

Pender encourages students to explore creative solutions and adapt to current policies.<\/p>

\u201cYou can put your little twist on it. Make it work for you,\u201d said Pender \u201cThat\u2019s what I try to encourage people\u2014follow the rules. And if you\u2019ve got to bend it a little bit, just don\u2019t break it.\u201d<\/p>

However, for some students, like nail technician Jordan Moore, pushing those boundaries has led to serious consequences.<\/p>

\u201cI was actually written up by my dorm director and sent to Judicial Affairs,\u201d she said. \u201cThat incident caused me to lose clients for a while.\u201d<\/p>

Hawkins and other entrepreneurs at Hampton University embody what it means to be a “Studentpreneur,” or college students who attend classes but also \u2018engage in innovative, revenue-generating entrepreneurial ventures.\u2019<\/p>

It was coined in a 2014 Open Publications of UTS Scholars study, Student Entrepreneurship: A Research Agenda,<\/em> to capture the distinct lifestyle of students who choose to build their businesses while in college to earn income.<\/p>

Dorm visitation hours at Hampton University are generally restricted to evenings, from 6 p.m. to 11:45 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. However, during specific times, such as the period before Homecoming, during midterms or before Christmas break during finals, these hours are often suspended, causing notable disruptions for student entrepreneurs.<\/p>

This academic year began with an email announcing a further reduction in visitation hours, now from 7 p.m. to midnight, Wednesday through Sunday, starting October 1. These changes have forced students to quickly adapt their business models, often compromising client satisfaction in the process.<\/p>

Simpson said that it is unfair to have to adjust to fit within the university’s strict visitation rules and compromise her business model and her clients’ comfort. For the new academic school year, she moved to a less strict living environment, the Hampton Harbors Apartments.<\/p>

\u201cThat was a big reason for me moving to the Harbs,” said Simpson. This change allowed her more freedom and flexibility, to better serve her clients and manage her business independently.<\/p>

Pender defended visitation rules saying they serve a higher purpose than helping budding entrepreneurs.<\/p>

\u201cWe need visitation,\u201d said Pender, \u201cSome of us aren\u2019t raised the same and aren\u2019t always considerate of others\u2019 space.\u201d<\/p>

This highlights the importance of finding spaces where students can meet and work without restrictions. One such place on campus is the Hampton University Student Center, a central hub where students gather to relax and socialize, and one of the few locations where businesses have been able to operate freely.<\/p>

Then, a mass email dated October 15th informed students that hair service businesses were no longer allowed in the student center.<\/p>

\u201cYesterday, I had to change an appointment last minute to an off-campus location,\u201d said Monika Smith, a hairstylist who lost more than $100 for canceling on clients. \u201cWe were getting kicked out of the student center, kicked out of dorms\u2014just for doing hair.\u201d<\/p>

Although some student business owners feel the administration is indifferent to their goals, that isn\u2019t the case, Pender said.<\/p>

\u201cWhen we talk about the number one student experience, that\u2019s what we mean. We are here to help you through college,\u201d said Pender, explaining the intent behind consistent rules for all students. \u201cI understand that you\u2019re trying to make money on the side, but that\u2019s not my main focus, as not every student is running a business.\u201d<\/p>

A designated area for student businesses would be a positive step, students say,<\/p>

\u201cThere should be a place on campus because at the end of the day, people want to be entrepreneurs, they want to make money in college, so there needs to be more freedom and accessibility,” said Simpson.<\/p>

Other historically Black universities, such as Bowie State University, have established entrepreneurship-focused spaces to support student businesses.<\/p>

Bowie\u2019s Entrepreneurship Living Learning Community provides students with rentable rooms for business activities, a model that could benefit Hampton\u2019s students. Yet, space constraints make implementing a similar setup at Hampton challenging.<\/p>

The loss of the student center and restricted hours also took a toll on the morale of many young entrepreneurs.<\/p>

\u201cI feel so bad,\u201d said Monika Smith, a student entrepreneur, about the impact of Hampton University\u2019s rule changes. \u201cIt\u2019s messing up my business and affecting the way people view how I run it.\u201d<\/p>

By voicing their concerns to Hampton\u2019s new leadership in the Office of Residence Life and Housing, students need to know their voices will be heard, Pender said, urging patience.<\/p>

\u201cI want students to come in here and talk to me,\u201d said Pender, emphasizing her new open-door policy and commitment to moving forward.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m a breath of fresh air, here to support every single student. I\u2019ll keep it real with you.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Virginia-Cleveland Hall is a gem of the historic architecture at Hampton University, designed by the same architect who designed the pedestal for The Statue of Liberty and the\u00a0Biltmore Estate. The National Historic Landmark was built in 1873. It\u2019s relatively rare Chateauesque-style massive red-brick edifice, with steeply pitched mansard roofs, turrets and imposing vertical style, is patterned after palatial French Castles of the 16th century.<\/p>

At Hampton, the freshman dorm is unmistakable. Unfortunately, it sits on the banks of the Hampton River. Because of climate change, in 50 years, the class of 2024 will be unable to visit their freshman dorm because the waterfront will be eight feet underwater as sea levels rise, flood zone maps indicate.<\/p>

In the absence of an official plan by the university, scholars from the Marine Science and Architecture departments are scrambling to find both short- and long -term solutions by applying for grants and funding.<\/p>

While the university is an official partner of The Green Infrastructure Plan, the administration has no specific plans in place. As a result, seemingly conflicting ideas are in development.<\/p>

Freshman dorms such as Twitchell Hall, Virginia-Cleveland Hall, Wilder Hall, Moton Hall, Kelsey Hall and Kennedy Hall are already impacted by flooding, which often keeps students from attending classes or going to the cafeteria.<\/p>

\u201cMy freshman dorm was Twitchell Hall and when it rained, the flooding was terrible. There would be spots at the waterfront that would be covered in water. I would have to completely take a detour just to get to class,\u201d said Anayah Tyler, a third-year nursing student.<\/p>

Green Infrastructure Center, a nonprofit firm, has partnered with The City of Hampton to provide strategies for the management, protection, and restoration of natural infrastructure that lists Hampton University as a stakeholder.<\/p>

Their plan maps opportunities to plant new vegetation to create adaptive landscapes that buffer from storms and adapt to rising sea levels. Hampton University submitted an endorsement for this plan and a pledge to participate.<\/p>

The partnership plan, called Hampton’s Natural Infrastructure Resiliency Plan, \u201caligns with our university’s commitment to environmental sustainability, community engagement, and social equity. This plan presents a vital opportunity to address our community’s ecological vulnerabilities and foster long-term resilience,\u201d said Darrell K. Williams, Hampton University President in a statement regarding the partnership between HU and the city.<\/p>

This plan aligns most closely with the goals of the Marine Science department, while the Architecture department is seeking funding to build resistance to rising waters using flood proof materials to minimize flooding.<\/p>

\u201cSome ideas could be to put flood proof materials in the lower levels of the dorms on the waterfront or put gravel alongside the roads in the campus,\u201d said Farzaneh Soflaei, an assistant professor in the Architecture department.<\/p>

Award-winning architecture students are working on proposals to include putting cisterns under parks, using water actuated or barrier walls, and using rainwater barrels to collect runoff. The project\u2019s implementation has already begun in Chesterfield Heights, a Norfolk community.<\/p>

While they are working in concert with Marine Science, the two schools\u2019 approaches are very different.<\/p>

\u201cIn my opinion, the only thing that can help mitigate the problem long term is to restore the buffer zones around campus and plant marshes along the shoreline,\u201d said Carolina Lewallen, climate change professor in the Marine Science department.<\/p>

Another professor, in the same department, agrees with that approach.<\/p>

\u201cShort term solutions would be to redesign the green infrastructure on campus by planting more native trees and shrubs, use permeable surfaces for roads and sidewalks so that flood waters can drain more efficiently,\u201d said Deidre Gibson, a climate change professor in the Marine Science department. \u201cAnother long-term strategy would be to include oyster reefs with the living shorelines to create a stronger barrier to the rising sea levels.\u201d<\/p>

Both departments are working on proposals to receive funding from the City of Hampton.<\/p>

\u201cWe are working with the Political Science department and the Marine Science department to create a plan that will save the waterfront from flooding in the next 30-50 years,\u201d said Soflaei.<\/p>

Hampton University is a private institution and the city of Hampton is limited to solutions to directly reduce flooding caused by sea level rise. In order for public funds to be used on the University, the private property owner would have to give the City a perpetual easement.<\/p>

The City of Hampton would have to make a case that there is public interest and that the public funds benefit more than just the property owner. This causes a major concern because the waterfront property in Hampton University is private property.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

NORFOLK-<\/strong> A Norfolk Black Catholic church has sustained the community through service for centuries and even today throws out lifelines to the needy.<\/p>

Since the late 1700s, the religious community that started The Basilica of St. Mary of The Immaculate Conception had a mission to lead parishioners to freedom and salvation through God\u2019s word.<\/p>

Originally founded in 1791 by the French fleeing the French Revolution, they were joined by Haitians fleeing the slave revolt in Haiti. It was a complicated confluence of cultures, but within fifty years, the formerly segregated church began allowing Black Catholics to sit in a designated area.<\/p>

The current building, with its ornate spire, is Virginia\u2019s most elaborate expression of the early \u201cGothic Revival,\u201d according to Virginia\u2019s historic register, with a \u201cdecidedly French character,\u201d that was completed in 1858.<\/p>

The Basilica\u2019s underground drainage system was probably used as a portion of the Underground Railroad.<\/p>

Today, the only African American Basilica in the country, also known as the Black Basilica, has a majority Black congregation,.<\/p>

Today, the mission continues to serve the Black community, which represents 40.72 percent of Norfolk\u2019s 228,643 population, where about 17.3 percent overall live in poverty. The higher rate of poverty in the Black population, 24.5%, is about 2.5 times the rate of poverty of white residents.<\/p>

That is 21,544 real individuals who need help. One in five people in the city lives with severe housing problems. Nearly one in five children live in poverty.<\/p>

The Basilica serves hot meals for its soup kitchen, gives out food from its pantry, and provides financial literacy and other services.\u00a0<\/p>

For 44 years, the soup kitchen has served 800-900 people yearly, and the food pantry has provided up to 200 families with fresh produce on a weekly basis.<\/p>

About 150 families are given food from the pantry every month, including fresh fruits, meats and vegetables on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Frcelle Drayton, food ministry coordinator said.<\/p>

On a recent Monday, tables, shipping carts holding vegetables, and folded chairs were scattered throughout the church ballroom in the basement of the historic two-story Roman-inspired built Basilica.\u00a0<\/p>

Refrigerators were packed with pre-cooked meals. Three Styrofoam plates hold freshly cooked string beans on the metal counters to be served with cooked ham.<\/p>

Aisles filled with seasonal fruits, vegetables, desserts, and meats were displayed throughout the ballroom to provide families with a \u201cgrocery store\u201d essence during the food pantry.<\/p>

Crates and boxes filled with frozen meals, packaged salads, and Halloween goodies surrounded the four refrigerators in the food pantry’s kitchen. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWe are finished for that Saturday, about 1:30 at the latest because on that day, that\u2019s when the largest amount of people and families would show up. And that\u2019s probably between about 150 to 175 families that would show up,\u201d Drayton said.<\/p>

For families to receive the groceries, they must first provide their names and the total number of family members so providers can keep track of the quantity of items that are given out.<\/p>

Adults seek more assistance with groceries and meals on average than elders whose grandchildren often take care of them within the Norfolk and Tidewater area according to the Coordinator of the Food Ministry.<\/p>

\u201cThe senior and adult population is about 30% The adult population is probably about 35- 40%. And the rest of them are children,\u201d Drayton said<\/p>

Homeless individuals, however, don\u2019t receive the same goods that other families receive because they have nowhere to cook.<\/p>

\u201cThey have all types of foods that they can regularly eat without any can openers and heat,\u201d Drayton said<\/p>

About 125 personal hygiene products are packaged for the homeless during the month of December.<\/p>

\u201cOnce a year, our children put together hygiene bags for the homeless. They also put together sock and T-shirt bags for the homeless that\u2019s usually done in the middle of December,\u201d Drayton said.\u00a0<\/p>

Thanksgiving food baskets that consist of $20 gift cards, desserts, canned goods, and produce, are the most popular basket that is given out during the month of November.<\/p>

\u201cTrust me, we will pass them out on the 22nd of this month and they will all be taken,\u201d Drayton said.<\/p>

For the homeless, the soup kitchen hosts a Thanksgiving dinner a day before the holiday.<\/p>

Before other local pantries opened their doors, students from Norfolk State University and Tidewater Community College regularly made visits to the pantry.<\/p>

\u201cBefore TCC had their pantry, I\u2019d say that we would get 10%-15% of their students, but that’s about it,\u201d Drayton said.<\/p>

Regardless of someone’s race, sexuality, or gender, no one is ever left behind on a meal.<\/p>

\u201cIf you are hungry, we feed you. We don’t ask any questions,\u201d Drayton said<\/p>

The church partners with the Foodbank of Southern Virginia and the Eastern Shore also located in Norfolk, VA.<\/p>

The church also takes regular offerings to pay for fresh meats for the food giveaways.<\/p>

However, if there isn\u2019t enough money coming in, the quantity of items has to be reduced.<\/p>

\u201cSay for one week we got $2,000, trust me, I am not spending that whole $2,000. I\u2019m going to hold back as much as I can. If I can’t hold back at least half, I\u2019m going to hold back 80% of it. Because I don\u2019t know what the following week is going to get me,\u201d Drayton said.<\/p>

Beyond the food pantry and soup kitchen, the Catholic Church educates the community with financial literacy classes, legal aid, and economic assistance. Legal aid comes every Wednesday at no cost to clients.<\/p>

\u201cThey don\u2019t deal with anything that\u2019s criminal in nature but civil, they do that. We have a group come in that would assist people with getting food stamps and also helping them if they are eligible for SSI,\u201d Drayton said.<\/p>

Although the church serves those who are homeless and the communities of Tidewater, homelessness can look different to everyone.<\/p>

\u201cSome of them are not homeless because, you know, they’re homeless because of their job, they\u2019re homeless because of something happening in their life that causes that. Some are working and have a home but still can\u2019t buy food,\u201d said Todd Washington, Business Manager of The Basilica of St. Mary of The Immaculate Conception.<\/p>

Those who are being served by the food pantry say they feel a sense of trust and comfort with the volunteers and administration of the church.<\/p>

\u201cYou get to know them; they get to know you. And then, sometimes they help when we need a little help, they\u2019ll help and take things out of the trucks,\u201d Washington said.<\/p>

Whenever a plate is served to a family, it represents service to Christ, said volunteer Judy Watford.<\/p>

\u201cI hope when I speak to people, talk to people, and they listen to me and respect them, then I know that I\u2019m serving Christ,\u201d she said.<\/p>

Another volunteer is there because the congregation helped feed her family when she was growing up.<\/p>

\u00a0\u201cIt was ten of us, five boys and five girls, and my mom and dad. I know we would not have made it if people didn\u2019t serve us and if people didn’t help us,\u201d Linda Sanders said. Sanders\u2019 sisters said, because of the help, she didn\u2019t realize they were poor growing up.<\/p>

\u201cMy sister said not long ago after my parents left,\u201d she said, \u201cWe were poor that we didn\u2019t even know that we were poor.\u201d Because we were given and we didn’t have much to give,\u201d Sanders said.\u00a0<\/p>

It\u2019s not always easy to serve God, Sanders said.<\/p>

\u201cBut I try to work at it every day.\u201d<\/p>

In 1961, the Josephites, a Catholic community of priests and Brothers, merged the St. Joseph congregation with St. Mary to serve the spiritual needs of Norfolk\u2019s Black community, according to the church website.<\/p>

But it was not until 2014, during a renovation, that the full extent of the church\u2019s service to the Black community was revealed.<\/p>

Beyond the food pantry walls and soup kitchen doors, The Basilica of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception, a tunnel was discovered where it is believed enslaved workers walked to their freedom.<\/p>

\u201cThey were drilling to take the floor out and they found crypts buried in the church and a tunnel,\u201d food bank manager Todd Washington said.<\/p>

The three-foot-wide flat surfaced tunnel is made of bricks that formed a tall arch under the church. The floor was smoothed with dirt and minerals that created an easy \u201cflow for water,\u201d according to Larson.<\/p>

The drainage tunnel was created in the 19th century and reached all the way to the Elizabeth River. When dry, slaves were able to use it to escape.<\/p>

Cassandra Newby-Alexander, a Norfolk historian, told the Chesapeake Bay magazine that the Catholic congregation may have cooperated with the predominantly Black members of the Colored Methodist Churches and First Baptist Churches in Norfolk.<\/p>

\u201cIf a pipeline\/tunnel ran the length of the black community to an access point on the waterfront, it is entirely expected that people would use this pipe\/tunnel as a portal to travel in secret and beyond the gaze of the numerous night watchmen who were hired to prevent escapes,\u201d Alexander told the magazine.<\/p>

Before the church\u2019s administration building and parking lot, the church faced a body of water that existed alongside the tunnel.<\/p>

\u201cBecause these walls are hollow, there’s voids behind them. They could’ve entered the tunnel and went out straight to the water,\u201d Larson said.<\/p>

One of the six founders of the Basilica and the founder of the first African American Oblate Sisters of Providence of Ordered Nuns in Baltimore, Maryland, Mary Elizabeth Lange was one of the former slaves who walked within the cave to search for freedom.<\/p>

When the current church was first renovated in 1982, it was believed that the tunnel and crypts were discovered by constructors. However, no one ever mentioned what they\u2019d seen underground.<\/p>

Unfortunately, the construction workers sealed the opening of the tunnel because according to visitors and tourists, they weren’t able to walk through or see where the tunnel began underground.<\/p>

Although the tunnel is no longer available to the public eye, another piece of history was discovered through an underground gravesite.<\/p>

It\u2019s believed in the church\u2019s history that the cemetery belonged to St. Patrick\u2019s Church, the Basilica\u2019s former church in 1791.<\/p>

\u201cAt that time, it wasn\u2019t illegal to be able to build a church over a cemetery,\u201d Larson said<\/p>

When the construction workers continued to remove the tiles from the floor, up to 100 bodies were found under the sanctuary, and 17 to 21 bodies were found near the main entrance.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cThey were all faced east and west. That has to do with African Culture,\u201d Larson said.<\/p>

In African Culture, caskets face East and West because it is believed that when Jesus comes back to Earth, the bodies will rise to follow Jesus in His direction according to Christianity Stack Exchange website.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

During slavery, it was illegal for slaves to gather to bury their loved ones because the slave masters didn\u2019t want the slaves to fight or turn against their owners for what they\u2019ve done according to A Good Goodbye website.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Because of this law, some slaves decided to remove their loved ones from the underground to take them as they would escape to freedom according to Larson.<\/p>

\u201cOut of the 17 caskets they decided to only exhume four of the bodies. Two had remains and two didn\u2019t,\u201d Larson said.<\/p>

When the construction workers drilled through the tile, it was evident that the majority of the caskets shared something in common, they maintained its fixture and white stone.<\/p>

Burying a loved one in a white casket symbolizes a sense of peace, purity, and innocence when an elder or a child has transitioned according to The Sullivan-King Mortuary & Crematory located in Anderson, South Carolina.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>

In one of the burials, the body was so long that it couldn\u2019t fit in the Triangle Atlantic casket.<\/p>

\u201cThere is a gentleman in there and he was too long for the casket because his head was kind of bent to the side,\u201d Larson said. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

An archeologist will reveal to the congregation the DNA of the remains during mass on Friday, November 22nd, 2024.<\/p>

The mission continues.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
