Daenisha Howard Oliver, a journalism major and criminology minor at Howard University, brings both passion and purpose to her writing. Since the age of ten, she has nurtured a deep love for storytelling, which has evolved into a commitment to delivering thoughtful, well-researched commentary on topics ranging from U.S. entertainment and politics to international affairs. Now a sophomore, Daenisha uses her academic foundation and natural curiosity to bridge the gap between personal insight and professional journalism.
She also has a blog called “Daenisha’s Diary.” Her blog, labeled as a modern diary, serves as a space where youth and intellect meet. With the unique perspective of a young Black woman transitioning from adolescence into adulthood, Daenisha uses her voice to reflect on current events with honesty, clarity, and critical thinking. This includes a strong interest in exposing government corruption in the U.S., examining how American influence contributes to corruption abroad, and amplifying the principles of the Black Lives Matter movement. These commitments allow her to write not just as an observer, but as someone deeply engaged in the sociopolitical realities shaping today’s world.
The core value of Daenisha’s blog lies in its dedication to truth and perspective. Through her writing, she aims not only to inform but to challenge existing narratives by offering fresh viewpoints often overlooked in mainstream coverage. Her goal is to provide readers with fact-based content while inviting them to see stories through a lens shaped by lived experience, academic insight, and a growing professional voice rooted in both curiosity and conviction.
