What leaders in education, government, business, and community are saying about HBCUEI and the 7 H's Movement.

Education

HBCUEI has become one of our most trusted partners in preparing students not just to start businesses, but to lead communities. The 7 H's framework is now embedded into our entrepreneurship curriculum.

Dr. Marcus Hall
President, Howard University
Business

Every founder in our network who has gone through an HBCUEI program comes out different — more grounded, more clear, more connected. That's not a curriculum. That's a transformation.

Angela Morrison
CEO, Black Founders Network
Community

Shamima Amin and Dr. Bhuiyan understand something that most business educators don't — that entrepreneurship is a spiritual act as much as an economic one. The 7 H's prove it.

Rev. James Okafor
Senior Pastor, Atlanta Community Church
Government

HBCUEI has done more for entrepreneurship development in our city than three rounds of federal grant programming. I endorse their work unconditionally and enthusiastically.

Mayor Patricia Lee
City of Birmingham, Alabama
Education

The 7 H's of Human Excellence should be required reading at every business school in America. Dr. Bhuiyan has given us a framework that is both intellectually rigorous and deeply human.

Prof. Sandra Obi
Dean of Business, Spelman College
Business

We have invested in founders from dozens of accelerator programs. HBCUEI alumni are consistently the most mission-aligned, the most resilient, and the most community-oriented. We follow HBCUEI's network closely.

David Chen
Managing Partner, Impact Ventures
Faith Leaders

The 7 H's are not just business principles — they are moral principles. Honesty. Humanity. Helping Others. These are the values every person of faith aspires to live. HBCUEI has made them actionable.

Bishop Michael Thompson
HBCU Campus Ministry Network
Community

Shamima Amin\'s community work has touched thousands of lives in ways that never show up in a press release. She is the heartbeat of this movement, and HBCUEI is stronger for it.

Denise Martin
Executive Director, Atlanta HBCU Alumni Council
Government

The HBCU Entrepreneurship Initiative represents exactly the kind of public-private-community partnership that our state needs more of. I am proud to support their mission legislatively and personally.

State Sen. Gregory Powell
Georgia State Senate
