Just weeks after Imani Robinson’s pilot episode of the web series “3 Blind Mice” went viral on social media, the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) reached out to partner with her on a new campaign aimed at raising scholarship money for students attending historically Black colleges and universities in Baltimore.”Working with Imani and her team, we are able to highlight HBCUs and just the importance of education for students of color,” said Tanya Sweeney, area development director for UNCF.The show, filmed on Coppin State’s campus, focuses on HBCU life and shows Baltimore from a different perspective. Because of the viral success of “3 Blind Mice,” UNCF reached out to Robinson’s team to make her the face of their campaign.”We work to raise money to help students at our HBCUs in Baltimore and our goal this year is to reach over $200,000 that we can make awards and scholarships to students coming from Baltimore and or attending schools here in Baltimore,” Sweeney said.
