Kirkley, Sr. - Campus President , Union Campus, Lincoln Technical Institute Serving the Community through Post-Secondary Education and Training Opportunities Misee Harris- Misee Harris first made a name for herself in 2013 as the woman who launched a social media campaign to be cast as Americas first black Bachelorette. After being chosen to appear as a contestant on ABC Networks runaway hit show The Bachelor for season 9, Misee realized she was simply there to fill a casting quota as the African-American woman who inevitably gets voted off in the first round. Not wanting to feed into television stereotypes, Misee decided to break the mold, turning down The Bachelor and instead launching a social media campaign to convince ABC, Bachelor/Bachelorette producer Mike Fleiss, and the public to cast her as Americas very first black Bachelorette. Misee made plenty of waves, gaining media coverage on/in: Time Magazine, Huffington Post, HuffPost Live, MSN, CNN, HLN, AOL, iVillage and with MSNBCs TheGrio, BlackEnterprise, MadameNoire, and on radio programs nationwide with headlines blaring, Is American Audience Ready For A Black Bachelorette? #BeInforrmed #AACCNJ #MeanBusiness
