education
from

discusses
changing
her
name
legally
from
Brenda

Mtume
Imani
in the
1980s
,
attending
St.
Anne's
Academy
in
Winston-Salem
,
North
Carolina
;
receiving
a
scholarship
to

Junior

in

education

African
American
home
while

growing
up.
She
talks
about
transferring
to
Woman's
College

academic
standards

; the
influence
of
music
professors

Imani
recalls
her
roommate
Edith
Mayfield
, the
small
number
of
black
students
on
campus
in the
early
1960s
, and her
limited
social

comparing
the
involvement
of the
community
in the
raising
