Heyyyy! My name is Imani D., and I’m a junior at Hampton University majoring in Criminal Justice on the pre-law track from New York. One of my biggest goals is to become a lawyer so I can advocate for people who don’t always have a voice in the room. My path to Hampton was far from easy, I had to figure out the college process on my own and even moved in by myself. Looking back, I’m so proud of how far I’ve come, and I stay motivated by reminding myself that little me would be cheering me on right now.
Outside of academics, I love tapping into my creative side. Art and dance are two of my favorite ways to express myself and de-stress after a long day. I also enjoy tutoring middle schoolers and younger students, which has been such a rewarding way to give back. Seeing their confidence grow inspires me to keep pushing for my own goals.
I joined Her Campus because I love being part of spaces where women especially Black women can inspire, support, and uplift each other. Along with my determination and empathy, I bring creativity and a genuine love for connecting with others. When I’m not studying or working on new projects, you can usually find me painting, laughing with friends, or scrolling Pinterest for my next style or room-decor idea. Through Her Campus, I’m excited to share my voice, inspire others, and continue becoming the best version of myself.
