Groomsman
I met Goodwill while attending Dartmouth College. Goodwill and I had overlapping classes given his math major and my biomedical engineering major. Beyond the classroom, we are also bonded as Brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. When I moved to NYC after graduating in 2015, Goodwill offered to help me move in. I always hoped I would be able to repay his generosity and standing by his side on his wedding is the LEAST I could do.

Proud Bison. Book lover. Mommy. Liable to yell HU at the functions! I met the bride our freshman year of Howard, 12 years and I had the privilege of meeting the groom soon after they first started dating. So excited to celebrate the beautiful couple!
Joel McCoy
Groomsman
Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee and pursued my undergraduate degree at Dartmouth, where I met Goodwill. One of my best friends, Goodwill and I formed a brotherhood during our time in school, learned from each other, pushed each other, and got each other through some tough years of being black at Dartmouth. We developed a lifelong friendship that has lasted from freshman year to the altar now at his wedding.

Over the years, we’ve supported each other through so much whether as daughters, partners, or students, and I’m excited for us to now support each other as wives. I couldn’t be more thrilled to stand by Taylor’s side and celebrate this beautiful union.
