Welcome and Happy Black History Month!

Welcome to Excellence in Black, a news and entertainment site dedicated to highlighting all of the amazing difference makers in the Pee Dee Region of South Carolina and beyond. 

Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Cheris Hodges, your guide and a native of Marlboro County, S.C.

I'm a journalist, author and editor. I love HBCUs --but Johnson C. Smith University has my whole heart. I'm Class of 1999.

It's Black History Month, but over here, we celebrate Black History all year. And we salute the Black Future as well. I hope you will subscribe and be a part of this journey. 

Stay Black.

Stay Excellent!
