The student media group with a diverse catalogue of content was established three years ago by alumna Krystal Lacayo. HBUNC started out by producing weekly news segments to inform Black students and any students interested in learning about campus opportunities for people of color. It has since expanded to larger media projects such as the Black UNC yearbook and their rendition of Love Island, a popular dating reality TV show. [Bella Pires,
