Why Not Us

Why Not Us: UMES Volleyball chronicles the creation of the program from its earliest foundations to its inaugural season, capturing the ambition, challenges and purpose behind building a team and identity from scratch. The project explores the rise of men's volleyball, the importance of diversity and inclusion in collegiate athletics, and the lasting impact of expanding opportunities at HBCUs. At the center is Dr. Anitra Brockman - the first Black woman head coach of a men's volleyball program at a Division I HBCU - as she sets out to build a winning culture from the ground up.
