CULTURE: You cannot have a 'Most Impactful' list without including the defeat of Hillary Clinton by Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential election! Not only did it impact the voting majority of this country in a surprising way, but it will continue to impact us for the next 4 years!

So it happened. No this is not a drill, no this is not a test, this is real life! What most of us took as a joke really happened. Donald Trump is now the President of the United States; OK, so now what? Despite your personal feelings regarding our new Commander in Chief, the reality is NOW is the time to prepare for the unpredictable events that may come within the next four years. As African Americans and people of color, as a segment of the population we understand that many of the Trump policies and platform may not align to the best interest of our communities. A Trump presidency may even put a financial, educational, and cultural strain on our communities; however, none of this remains to be seen for right now.
