Jonecia Keels and Jazmine MillerSpelman College students Jonecia Keels and Jazmine Miller are both Spelman College students who competed against colleges such as Harvard and MIT to design a mobile learning application and won. I love it that students from an Historically Black College won this challenge especially since some people think that HBCU's are sub-par and no longer a vital part of Black America.
