Queen Udeh

My name is Queen Udeh. I am Nigerian and was born in Inglewood, California, before 
moving to Victorville. My parents were both born in Nigeria and moved to the United States in the 90s. I have three siblings: an older sister named Princess, an older brother named Prince, and a younger brother named Kingsley. I enjoy sports, particularly basketball and volleyball. I also enjoy watching anime, kdrama, and thriller films. I chose UCR because I heard about all of the black student resources and how black people are welcomed there, as well as because my brother goes here already, which was convenient. I hope to gain new experiences, make new connections, make new friends that will eventually become family, and have a generally enjoyable work experience. One project I would like to execute for Black & African American Recruitment is to experience new assignments and meet new people. I am not too sure about any projects so far.

Raymond Prothro

Hi! My name is Raymond Prothro, and I am a 4th year philosophy major at UCR. I have a passion for working with the Black community, so I am very grateful to be a part of the BAAR team. Outside of work, my interests are listening to music, watching cooking shows, and working out.

Ayo Adeniran

My name is Ayooluwawolebami Moshiomiopesioluwa Adeniran. I was born on April 11th, 2003 in Long Beach, California but I was raised in Carson, CA. My parents are Nigerian immigrants and they got to the United States in 1997 after having my older sister and older brother abroad. When I’m not in Riverside, I am probably in my Carson home spending time with my family and friends. I chose UC Riverside due to a sense of community as well as familiarity as my older sister is a UCR alumna. UCR has been a very eye-opening experience as I have found a community of Black people that I would love to foster and help it grow as a whole. One thing that I would love to gain from this job is work experience and networking. Some people say that in today’s day and age, networking can get you places that a degree cannot. I wanna see where I can go with both. One project that I would like to execute for Black & African American Recruitment is hosting a program with other black student organizations that allows each one to showcase what the UCR community has to offer to many prospective applicants and transfer students.
