About this episode

In this episode of HBCU Titans with Kenn Rashad, we sit down with Dr. Loretta Cheeks, a Southern University graduate who has spent decades working at the intersection of technology, artificial intelligence, and innovation. Long before AI became one of the most talked-about topics in the world, she was already studying, building, and thinking about how advanced technology could be used to solve real problems. Dr. Cheeks shares her journey from Southern University in Baton Rouge to earning a PhD in artificial intelligence and explains why she believes AI represents one of the greatest opportunities of our time, especially for entrepreneurs, innovators, and the next generation of leaders emerging from HBCUs.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.
