For the first episode of The Low Down's brand-new miniseries The Future Is...., we're honored to feature A'Lelia Bundles '76JRN, a University Trustee, veteran journalist, and author. Bundles comes from a long line of successful, well-known women, including one of the first African American self-made millionaires and a Harlem Renaissance darling. But rather than go into the family business, Bundles took her own path—in 1960, she discovered her calling as a writer at the ripe old age of eight. Listen to Bundles' story here.
