Hi, I'm Danielle Beale, M.Div., founder of Decode College.

As a two-time first-generation HBCU graduate, higher education professional, and certified career coach, I create practical resources for HBCU first-year students, first-generation students, transfer students, and their families.

Decode College was built to help you navigate the college journey with more clarity and confidence—from move-in day and housing to campus offices, expectations, and the “things no one tells you.”

Thank you for being here and trusting Decode College to support your journey.
