My Life’s Trajectory - Ericca Blake Morgan, MPA, LMSW Alum 2017
My name is Ericca Blake Morgan, and I graduated from Morgan State University in May 2017. After working in Government for several years in various administrative capacities, I decided to pursue a master’s in social work. While working in government, I realized that we are all “social workers,” although many are called public servants or human service workers. I worked at the Housing Authority of Baltimore City (HABC), providing safe, sanitary, and decent housing to Baltimore’s low to moderate-income families. In this role, I also advocated on Capitol Hill for funding for programs that would help residents to move from dependency to self-sufficiency.
Bobby Marvin Holmes – LMSW, Alum 2019 Father, Husband, Social Worker, Founder of Son of a Dream. #sonofadream #reflectionofus
My matriculation to Morgan State University’s School of Social Work was about preparing myself to make a greater impact. Years prior, I worked as a paraprofessional working with Black boys and their families throughout Baltimore City in predominantly urban communities. This experience helped me to develop insight into their challenges and strengths. I knew Morgan would give me the necessary tools to be successful as a social worker. However, I did not know this experience would grant me the opportunity to grow as a scholar and advocate.
