#FacesOfHBCUs: Elizabeth Lauren Harrington, @delstateuniv 👏🏾On April 26, 2026, Elizabeth Lauren Harrington, known as “Klassified Intelligence” #2, entered 🩷💚 AKA land through the Delta Lambda Chapter at Delaware State University and made her presence undeniable. She made history as the first blind member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, proving that being an AKA is serious and she carries that with purpose. 👑🌸 Joining her mother and sister, her crossing represents legacy, love, and breaking barriers. #ThisIaSeriousMatter #HBCUPride 📸 @prettykonnected
